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

    • A lot. A lot of the work that I started will be used after I leave my placement. It shows to me it was not just for the sake of giving me work. There were also a few pieces of work that were not urgent but the team wanted done for a long time. I managed to cross off a few of those projects off their list.
