Evaluation Process

In addition to the preliminary evaluations based on interviewing and testing, the School relies on the feedback from students using the lab and from the lab supervisor. This feedback remains in the consultant's employment record for future reference.

Any student who occupied the position of lab consultant in the School’s teaching labs and whose performance has been excellent will be given serious consideration to be named as the lab supervisor (when the previous lab supervisor leaves).
