Comparative analysis shows challenges in assessing student autonomy in experiential education, suggesting a combined assessment method may be beneficial.

However, alignment challenges with co-op responsibilities and evaluator variability may limit their standalone use. A combined assessment approach may offer a more comprehensive and context-sensitive evaluation of student performance during experiential training.
