This is all well and good, but the big question is how this will translate into the professional world following graduation. STEM fields don't take kindly to mistakes.

Dennis, I would encourage you to read this post where I address your "real world" concern head on: https://gradingforgrowth.com/p/knee-jerk-reactions

In short, students in college are intentionally here to learn, and learning involves mistakes. I would rather have a doctor who had the chance to make their mistakes in school, learn from them, and eventually learn how to do my procedure fully correctly. The alternative would be having a doctor who did it at the 70% level and never corrected themselves.
