- We will have formative assessments almost every week. Most formative assessments will be recorded in our gradebook. I'll remind you to use formative assessments to gauge your own self-assessment. You should ask yourself "Do I understand this stuff" and then look at formative assessments to answer the question.
Summative assessment[edit]
Summative assessment (or summative evaluation) refers to the assessment of participants where the focus is on the outcome of a program.[3]
