TRANSCRIPT
Objectives
• Differentiate between two categories of assessment

• Students do a ‘quick write’
response in the middle of a lecture
• Students complete a midterm that examines material in modules 1-3
• Students complete a term project that applies concepts from the second half of the course

Formative Summative
Two Types of Assessment
Formative assessment: Clarifying where students are within a learning experience, providing feedback to move them forward, and activating them as owners of their own learning. Black & Wiliam (2006)
Summative assessment: An appraisal that elicits evidence up to a given point on what students know versus what they should know, and are given feedback. Biggs & Tang (2007)
