"Rate my work term" is a feature of WaterlooWorks that was developed in close partnership with the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA), and its affiliated faculty student societies. This feature allows students to anonymously rate their work term experiences to help future students make their decisions and help employers receive feedback.

Once we've collected enough response data to ensure our respondents' anonymity, this information will be available for students and employers to review. So if you're finishing a work term, don't forget to submit a rating! The more responses we receive, the richer the data will be for future students applying to co-op jobs.

To complete your work term recap:

1. Click the blue "View Work Term Record" button, located within the "Co-op Sequence Summary" table on the right side of your dashboard.
2. Scroll down to the "Work Term Details" tab and click "Work term recap."

3. Click the blue "Create Record" button.

4. Fill out the form.

Use the following instructions to enter your comments:

1. From your WaterlooWorks dashboard, select "View Detail" in the "Hire Waterloo Co-op Summary" section
2. Scroll down and select "Performance Evaluation" under "Work Term Details"
3. If your work-term evaluation is missing, please check with your supervisor on the status of your evaluation or contact the CEE Hub
4. Click "Edit Performance Evaluation" to edit the "Student Comments" section of the form (you cannot edit the information your supervisor entered)
5. Enter your comments and click "Save"

Student Performance Evaluation forms are typically submitted by your supervisor via WaterlooWorks. If your employer hasn't submitted your performance evaluation yet, you can follow the instructions on this page to help them submit their evaluation online.

In some cases, your employer may submit their evaluation directly to Co-operative Education. If this is the case, one of our staff members will enter your evaluation into WaterlooWorks on their behalf.

If you have a copy of your performance evaluation and it is signed by both you and your employer, please bring a hard copy to the CEE Hub within the Tatham Centre and we will enter it into WaterlooWorks.
