Employer Assessment of Co-op Student Learning Outcomes
 
The following statistics from 2007-08 reflect co-op student performance and skills development taken from employer evaluations of co-op students completed each semester. Evaluation forms ask supervisors in co-op learning sites to evaluate students compared to newly hired entry-level employees. (Note: Achievement of learning objectives 1,2,and 3 refers to three (3) major-related learning goals that students and supervisors design together for the semester.)
