Evaluating your co-op/internship student is an important part of RIT's co-op program. It provides the student, their academic department, and the Office of Career Services and Cooperative Education valuable feedback regarding the student's job performance. The evaluation is required for students to receive credit for their experience.

Performance Feedback

  • Provide formalized performance feedback for your co-op student.
