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

    • I was part of 4 projects where one of my projects too a lot of commitment and responsibility as I was one of a few people who knew the system and how it works. This was good as it took a lot of research but I managed to solve these issues. The work i did I had full responsibility for and was expected to finish it
