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

    • After feedback, one thing I have tried to apply to my degree is making sure I have done everything I can in my essays before asking for help. Making sure my work is at the highest quality it can be before I get other people to look at it.
