The evaluation process is an
on-going opportunity for you to carefully analyze your performance and
to receive a verbal and written
overview of your job skills and accomplishments. It is an excellent
vehicle to offer positive and constructive criticism.

feedback to RAs/ALAs in a formal manner, as well as for helping

process.
