financial aid granted to students may inform theinstitutions they choose to attend as well as the majors they pursue after matriculation (Kim,2004; Stater, 2011). Notably, Stater’s (2011) study found that higher net costs of attendancedecreased the probability that students would choose a major in STEM.Additionally, after matriculation, a host of institutional factors may support, or impede, studentsuccess in STEM. For example, research indicates that institutional practices, such as career andacademic advising, play a critical role in facilitating retention, persistence, and degree attainmentin college (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). A number of studies have demonstrated that students’perceptions of, and experiences with, academic advising may

It is important that the feedbackprovided to students be focused on improving performance, be understandable, and be clearlylinked to the desired learning outcomes [6, 8]. It is also important that assessment strategies are“cost-effective” for instructors in terms of the time and expertise required for implementation [8,19].
