Abstract
Over the years, many tests and techniques have been developed to measure the impact of college on students. Which to use depends on the institution's educational goals and on the content of each student's educational experience.

Participant self-reports and students' perceptions are an appropriate method for measuring students' beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions that might not be apparent through observation or other forms of data collection.
“As shown by previous research (e.g., Pace, 1985;Miller et al., 2018;Tang & Odeleye, 2023) this is an appropriate method for measuring students' beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions that might not be apparent through observation or other forms of data collection.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
