I've used one for ages, because I get job referrals from people who've
been gone for several years and I can't usually remember well enough to do
a referral.

I rate very satisfactory, satisfactory, fair and unsatisfactory for the
following:

Overall job performance
Neatness of work
Ability to accept supervision
Leadership ability
Relationship with co-workers
Reliability
Attendance
Initiative

Then I also have a section for my comments.

Students must sign the form and there is a place for their comments along
with the following statement:
'My signature above indicates only that I have reviewed and discussed this
evaluation with my supervisor and I am aware of my work performance.  It
does not necessarily signify that I agree.'

I do evaluations at the end of the first semester and then annually
thereafter.

Carrie and others:

Here is a copy of the student evaluation form used in our Circulation
department.  They have 8 staff there, each of whom supervises students
when the staff member is scheduled to work the front desk. That makes the
form a little more complicated than may be necessary for you.  The
following does not show the lines used on the form, but I think it
includes all the information you asked about.  I hope it is helpful.
Please see my related question after the end of the form.

I have a related question for SerialsT folks:  Do any of you have knowledge
of a listserv for supervisors of student assistants?  I have been trying to
locate one and have contacted a list serv of administrators of student
employment.  So far I have received a referral to www.liszt.com which didn't
turn up any lists for student supervisors.  Any ideas?

Thanks much!

Good morning,

We are trying to develop a new student employee evaluation sheet.  We have
had problems with the categories we established earlier, but can't seem to
come up with a more efficient and accurate categories to compare with.

I wondered if anyone out there has developed a workable evaluation sheet
and would be willing to share it?

thanks,
