The WNC Student Employee Evaluation process is optional. Supervisors who choose to participate can do evaluations on a semester or annual basis. This process is meant to help both supervisors and student employees grow and promote development using this format as a helpful tool. Below are two forms - one is the actual evaluation form and the other is a form to help students prepare for their evaluation discussions. All we ask is that as a supervisor, if you choose to evaluate your student staff, you evaluate each student worker on your team.
