Answer 3

An evaluation means to evaluate. To evaluate means to sum up, and come to a conclusion.  

Answer 4

It usually mean that you and your boss are going to get together and talk about how you have been doing on the job.  You will discuss what was expected, and what actually was accomplished.  You will discuss what you do well and what can improve, you will talk about what the next year will bring, what is expected, etc.  You will also be discussing (hopefully) a raise and or promotion.

Take criticism to heart, but try not to be too emotional if it is not perfect.  You have to improve, you are new!  Have a list of what you have accomplished this year for comparison.  Bring them to your bosses attention nicely.  Write down things you want to do next year including classes and things that will stretch your abilities to the next level.

Good luck!
