Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not as much as I would have liked. The better tasks I was given would give me a longer time frame to work something out for myself and then return to my colleague who would suggest edits. I was able to take full responsibility for some work though
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved it, I thought it was a great experience.
I wish there was more structure at the start - to give me a variety of work opportunities with different tasks. I was only on a project for a short while, and it would have been nice to experience a few more projects.
