Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My internship is in a form of 2 weeks rotation in 8 weeks of internship and I'll get to shadow the colleagues. However, the colleagues also give me some tasks to do.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was originally going to be shadowing but I request my colleagues to give me some work, so I'm given some tasks. I think the tasks are manageable. They also allow me to tell whether I have too much or too less work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
