  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I believe that I was given a good amount of responsibiltiy, enough for me to get on with without asking too many questions but at the same time not feel overwhelmed and unprepared.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Getting to know how to use programmes such as focus/circle/promap in the work place will help me in my studies and when I start my graduate position putting me at an advantage to others.
