Additionally, it is believed that these perceptions couldbe positively impacted with more directed student instruction as to how to interpret and utilizethe standards-based grading feedback. There was very little such instruction in this course,meaning that students often failed to effectively leverage the rubric feedback to guide theirlearning.AcknowledgementsThis work was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF DUE1503794).

However,phenomenological researchers highlight the importance of maintaining “a bridled attitude,” thecommitment to openness throughout the research process; this concept includes healthy tensionbetween existing theories/literature and what should be seen or enacted from the narratives ofparticipants’ lived experiences. The primary purpose of phenomenological research is to shedlight on the important facets of human experiences that are either less explored in the existingliterature, or currently calling for a deeper, more holistic, or simply different understanding. 19,20As a result, Berry’s acculturation theory and Schwartz et al.’s revised model served as a broadperspective in conceptualizing student veterans’ transition experience as

cooperative work experience. For each co-op assignment, three different metrics areused to evaluate the experience, and each metric has been designed to gather program assessmentdata. Metric 1: Approximately mid semester, a faculty member visits each student at theiremployment site, meeting with both the student and their supervisor(s). At the site visit, thefaculty member collects assessment data on the student’s performance, how well the institutionhas prepared the student, and educational areas that the employer feels can be improved.Feedback gathered during the faculty member’s visit is recorded using a common reporttemplate. Metric 2: At the end of the co-op assignment, the students complete an online, self-evaluation of their experience. A

In addition to the students’participation in the lab work, various physical samples are presented to broaden theirunderstanding. An individual and group lab report is required to summarize procedures,observation, and analysis after completion of each lab.
