What should be avoided when writing a JEPES evaluation?

The focus of a JEPES evaluation is to provide clear, constructive, and actionable feedback on an individual's performance. When writing these evaluations, it is crucial to avoid vague statements and generalizations without evidence because such statements fail to convey the actual performance level of the individual being evaluated. Clear and precise information is essential for the evaluation to be useful for the individual, their superiors, and future performance appraisals.

Specific examples help in illustrating the points made in the evaluation and provide context for the feedback being given. This kind of detailed insight supports the evaluator’s assessments, helping to ensure that the feedback is both relevant and constructive. As a result, avoiding vague and unsubstantiated comments enhances the overall quality and effectiveness of the evaluation process, promoting development and understanding.

In contrast, other choices may have their benefits in specific contexts but do not serve the primary goal of the JEPES evaluation to communicate performance clearly and specifically.
