How long can it take for WGU faculty to complete the evaluation of a Performance Assessment?

The timeframe for WGU faculty to evaluate a Performance Assessment can be up to 72 hours. This duration allows faculty to thoroughly review the submitted work, assess it against the established competencies, and provide constructive feedback to the student. The evaluation process includes not only a review of the content but also consideration of the criteria outlined in the assessment rubric. By ensuring that faculty have an adequate amount of time to complete this evaluation, WGU is committed to maintaining high standards of academic integrity and providing students with a valuable learning experience. This timeframe reflects the importance of detailed assessment in a competency-based education model, aiming to support student learning and success in their academic journey.

Other timeframes such as 24 hours or 48 hours may not allow for a comprehensive evaluation, while the option of up to a week could imply unnecessary delays in feedback and progress for students. The chosen 72-hour period strikes a balance between thoroughness and efficiency.
