Types of assessment methods-formative and summative


Assignment:

Results from assessments serve as a litmus test to evaluate whether the learning outcomes/objectives were met and the instructional strategies were effective. Linda Suskie (2009) discusses two major types of assessment methods-formative and summative. Formative assessments provide feedback throughout the learning experience. However, summative assessments evaluate learning at the end of a learning experience. As a Walden University doctoral student, you have experienced both formative and summative methods of assessment embedded in the course assignments. Imagine you were given an opportunity to modify one of the assignments you have experienced as a doctoral student. Reflect on your experiences and the resources, and address the questions in the posting instructions below.
