Not exact matches
Formative and summative
assessments Old - fashioned
assessments consume much valuable class - time, are either simple - minded in construction or labor intensive to evaluate, rarely work well across a broad range of students (it takes
far too many questions to differentiate at the low and high ends
as well
as in the middle), and their turnaround is too slow to yield useful information when you really need it.
Such
assessments can be undertaken during teaching to establish how well students have learnt what they have been taught so
far and to identify gaps and the need for reteaching — sometimes referred to
as «
formative»
assessments — or they can be undertaken at the completion of a course to determine how well students have mastered the course content and to assign «summative» grades.
