Providing Feedback

Student Evaluations

  • Semester Evaluation Timeline (png image)
    Alongside setting expectations, formal evaluations that allow students time to reflect on their skills and what else they’d like to work on are critical in effective supervising. Evaluations should be done mid-semester to allow students time to improve on skills and alter behavior. Feedback and recognition should occur on the spot as supervisors observe behavior.
