    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given a good amount of independence to find the answer for myself but also enough guidance so that I didn't feel lost or discouraged.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    5/5
