My interactions with the team we all positive., The only few things I would mention are that it was difficult to navigate the platform a bit, I was looking for more information to be contained within, or perhaps i was just not able to find it. Also. there was communication within the portal and outside by emial so that was a bit confusing as well when trying to find all the information. I submitted the applications but then I had others managing the students and the positions, so we were not all connected on what was going on. In addition, there was a mid and final evaluation form completed by the supervisors already and now there was one sent by Ripen to fill something out online, there sems to be some duplication?
