It discusses issues such as alignment, formative vs. summative assessment, and the difference between grading and assessment. //== =What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?=

Formative assessment
==The goal of formative assessment is to //monitor student learning// to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments:==
 * ==help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work==
 * ==help faculty recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately==

Formative assessments are generally //low stakes//, which means that they have low or no point value. Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:

 * ==draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic==
 * ==submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture==
 * ==turn in a research proposal for early feedback==

Summative assessments are often //high stakes//, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include:

 * ==a midterm exam==
 * ==a final project==
 * ==a paper==
 * ==a senior recital==
