Total Points Possible

The Cooperative Work Experience Education Program is a graded course. Students are evaluated by their employers and CWEE faculty on the basis of job performance, accomplishment of their established learning objectives, and timely completion of all school-based Projects/Assignments. Employers are asked to complete a standardized student evaluation form at the end of the semester. You will receive the letter grade you have earned based on the quality of completed projects on time and work hours accumulated. The following breakdown represents the maximum number of points available for each component of the course:

Points will be deducted for...

• Late timesheets
• Late Projects/Assignments
