Two students were evaluated using different standards, with Student 1 evaluated based on exam performance alone while Student 2 had multiple sources of data considered, including volunteer work and performance on virtual patient cases, leading to individualized feedback and behavior change. This highlighted the need for precision education that considers diverse sources of data to optimize individualized outcomes.
