Formative vs. Summative • Formative is done throughout the learning
process and is diagnostic in nature. o For example: asking students to nod if they "get it"
o For example: walking around during group work and commenting on progress
• Summative is carried out at the end of a unit to measure learning; often tied to a grade. o For example: final assignment
o For example: post-test/quiz
Objective vs. Subjective • Objective assessment is based in criteria that
can be measured as right or wrong. o For example: multiple choice
o For example: matching questions
• Subjective assessment is more open ended and requires interpretation by the instructor. o For example: open ended essays
o For example: pair/share activities during class
