Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
My role is split between PA and research assistant so varies greatly. This could be booking appointments to running or building code in R or other data tasks
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy - its not a 1 day (6 hour) requirement and this should be made clear. I however enjoy it.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes i learn lots of new skills and Datacamo is invaluable
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It is improving greatly. At 1st it was really poor. No responses to emails, cancelled appointments, tasks not being received. I didn't have coach, then they left, all the dates for the workshops were changed. I now have a new coach and she is a lot more organised and pro-active
