Attainment of the Objectives and the effectiveness of the Duties in learning the Objectives will be evaluated.

    • Attendance
    • Job learning/skill improvement
    • Quality of work
    • Appearance
  3. The instructor, or an appointee, will make at least one site visit to meet with the student’s supervisor during the work placement. The student may or may not be present.
  4. Successful completion of the Cooperative Education Work Placement will earn the student a P (Pass) grade. The course is available for P/NP (Pass/No Pass) grading only.
