    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I did feel valued by my colleagues, they are all very professional and responsable employees. Where credit was due I recieved it, and where I was told to improve an explanation and advice was offered.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given credible support and guidance by the management; however, if I was going to be very pedantic, I would say that I would have benefited from clearer and more concise instruction.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was always busy and never found myself without work or purpose.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • My response will always be limited, because as an intern there is general and expected level of responsibility that I will be given; that being said, I was given tasks that demanded responsibility. I went to visit a site on my own and aided various valuation reports - both proof reading them, and presenting comparable evidence.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • They didnt assist me in my degree studies, but they undeniably helped me build skill sets that I simply could not have built without experiencing the placement.

    5/5

    The Company

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
