FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The goal of formative assessment is to gather feedback that can be used by
the instructor and the students to guide improvements in the ongoing
teaching and learning context. These are low stakes assessments for students
and instructors.
Examples:
Asking students to submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a
lecture
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The goal of summative assessment is to measure the level of success or proficiency that
has been obtained at the end of an instructional unit, by comparing it against some
standard or benchmark.
Examples:
Assigning a grade to a final exam
Critique of a Senior recital
University Faculty Course Evaluations
The outcome of a summative assessment can be used formatively, however, when
students or faculty take the results and use them to guide their efforts and activities in
subsequent courses.
EXAMPLES
Minute Paper
Pose 1-2 questions in which students identify the most significant things they have learned from a given lecture,
discussion or assignment. The question can be very general or content specific and their answers help you to
determine if they are successfully identifying what you view as most important. Give students about 1-2 minutes
and ask them to write a response on an index card, or no longer than a half page.
Muddiest Point
Similar to the Minute Paper, ask your students to answer: What was the muddiest point in (todays lecture, the
reading, the home)? Students need to identify fairly quickly what they do not understand and articulate it.
EXAMPLES
Applications Cards
Identify a concept or principle your students are studying and ask students to come
up with 1-3 applications of the principle from everyday experience, current news
events, or their knowledge of particular organizations or systems discussed in the
course.
Rating Scales: Rating scales are similar to the checklists except that they
indicate the degree of accomplishment rather than just yes or no. Rating scales
list performance statements in one column and the range of accomplishment in
descriptive words, with or without numbers, in other columns. These other
columns form the scale and can indicate a range of achievement, such as
from poor to excellent, never to always, beginning to exemplary, or strongly
disagree to strongly agree.
