ongoing feedbacks that can be used
by instructors to improve their
teaching and by the students to
improve their learning
 Helps to identify students strengths
and weaknesses and target areas that
need work.
 Help faculties recognize where
students are struggling and address
problems immediately.
 Foster development and
improvement within an on-going
activity
 Low stakes – low or no point value
Summative Assessment

9. PROS AND CONS OF
SUMMATIVE
ASSESSMENT

10. PROS OF S.A
 used to determine whether
and to what degree students
have learned the lesson they
have been taught;
 generally evaluative, rather
than diagnostic—i.e., they
are more appropriately used
to determine learning
progress and achievement;
 evaluate the effectiveness of
educational programs;
 measure progress toward
improvement goals;
 make course-placement
decisions, among other
possible applications.
CONS OF S.A
 not always the most accurate
reflection of learning.
 they do nothing to identify
and remedy instructional
problems before they
become critical.
 having one big test makes
everyone anxious, and is
disruptive to school life.
