    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • The intorductory week mostly involved listening to various speakers. The two weeks interning invovled doing low level tasks associated with the seat (i.e. deed scheduling) and speaking with people in the department to gain an insight into the work they usually complete. Some tasks were made up, some tasks were live matters.
