Employer feedback is a critical component of the co-op process. It helps students to grow and develop as a professional. The Division of Professional Practice provides an online evaluation form for employers to use in their appraisal process.
The co-op students’ Professional Practice faculty advisor will help students learn from their performance and prepare for the future based upon this critical appraisal. The university can also learn much about its educational processes through this connection with industry, and make modifications to enhance its ability to provide you with the best qualified students.

- Assess the student's progress against his/her learning objectives.
- Assess the student's performance.
