DIRECTIONS Evaluate the student by checking the appropriate box to indicate the degree of Competency. The rating for each task should reflect employability readiness rather than the grades given in class. Rating Scale: No exposure Introduced- the student has been exposed through non participatory instruction (e.g. lecture, demonstration, field trip, and video). Practiced- the student can perform the task with direct supervision. the student can perform the task with limited supervision and/or Entry-Level Competency- does not perform the task to standard (a typical entry-level performance expectation). Competency- the student consistently performs task to standard with no supervision (on at least two occasions or at instructor’s option).
