The experience was quite flexible and rather smooth-sailing, as there was enough time made available between each check-in with the supervisor. Instructions were quite straightforward and simple to make sense of with the amount of background information that was given on the organisation and its goals. A decent amount of agency is offered, as long as there is follow-through.
