: the practice of certain canonical problems in acertain collection of subjects is supposed to habituate the student into a certain way of thinkingthat we think constitutive of a physicist, chemist, or other flavor of scientist. But science alsoventures out into the unknown, past the canonical problems and the canonical experiments, andso students need to be formed in ways of handling these more ambiguous situations where rightcourse of action is not clearly defined. Many undergraduate science curricula includeopportunities for such formation, often in advanced laboratory courses or capstone/senior thesiscoursework. Assessment of these formational outcomes is possible, but not as straightforward asfor technical outcomes. The question then is
