Co-op Feedback
Overview
Internship reviews should be held once a month, with the exception of the final month where the CECA review is the final review. Reviews help calibrate the intern and the manager to what’s up, get our blockers and frustrations, and make sure they align with our expectations of a coop student.
Coop Performance Feedback
It is imperative to give the coop constructive feedback. Use the sandwich method when delivering feedback: good, bad, good (it really works). For every positive and negative feedback point, provide a specific example (and if applicable, what should be done differently). Have a pen and paper with you, use a gentle touch, and set them up for success.
Recommended Performance Feedback Criteria
CECA’s evaluation is a good model to follow. Fill this out beforehand (you can keep it brief) and make sure there are specific examples. Set up a call with them to go over the feedback
Survey Questions
Survey Questions to ask the intern:
Is there any feedback you have for me as a coop manager?
Are there enough tasks to do every day? How is task planning?
How are the communications between you and leads? Are they impacted by leads onsite/offsite?
Any other thoughts?
