What should a good assessment do in your opinions? Personal Story: My husband is in law school and some of the professors offer midterms that are not graded when my husband first started he thought that nobody would take them… not surprising to me, everyone showed up… why?

4. Formative vs. Summative Assessment
Summative Assessments:
Evaluate student learning
Used to guide efforts and activities in subsequent teaching
Goal: point out that both, when used effectively, are to inform instruction! Whether it be on the part of the teacher or the student. I use to think the FCAT was just to show what they student was able to do… then it occurred to me that we base SLC on this.
