Formative assessments are ongoing assessments, reviews, and observations in the classroom. The results of formative assessments are used to adjust and confirm instruction is being understood by the student.
Summative assessments are used to evaluate the success of the course that has been taught, this can be achieved termly with a final review in the last term. The summative assessment aims to make a judgment on the student's competency and the student's ability to master specific components and raise issues if any.
