learners failed to reach 5 out 10 but others scored 10 out of 10.The plan made sure all learners could
participate.On summative some learners did well and above 50 % while others where below 40%.The
evaluation criteria were clear and measured what learners were supposed to learn. Overall, the
assessment plan was effective and helped facilitator understand what learners knew and didn't know.
