4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I have found my programme well structured with RBS. However, I have found BBP difficult at sometimes this is because there have now been a few different time where arranged webinars or meetings have been either cancelled last minute or attended a meeting and no lecturer has arrived and we had not been told what has happened.
