Responsibilities
The Evaluator’s work is situational and highly complex, requiring analysis and evaluation of student responses to assessment task prompts to achieve a secure, valid and reliable determination of competencies for degree programs.
The Evaluator applies university, department and team policies and procedures in scoring work and crafting helpful, robust and personalized feedback to support students in developing competency and progressing with their degree program.
On occasion, an experienced Evaluator maybe called upon to create and implement methods to improve student success and evaluation processes.
The Evaluators work is critical to each student’s experience and success at WGU.
The Evaluator works individually and collectively, as part of a content-specific team, to meet individual, team and department objectives to be accurate, fair, helpful and quick in an environment that is a great place to work.
The Evaluator works effectively and reports worktime accurately, in order to be good stewards of the student’s tuition dollars.
The Evaluator maybe called on to resolve student concerns or address student inquiries.
With general direction from a manager and course lead, Evaluators are self-managed, taking initiative and acting independently in completing performance assessment evaluations consistent with standard practices and policies and our commitment to students (i.e., accurate, fair, helpful & quick).
When faced with an unexpected student response, Evaluators are encouraged and expected to collaborate with other evaluators, course leads and supervisors/managers as needed to make a fair determination of competency.
To be successful, Evaluators must be well connected and coordinated within their team, project teams and any applicable cross-functional groups.
An experienced Evaluator maybe asked to propose or collaborate on new methods and procedures on new or special assignments.
