Assessment Types

Assessment can be used to grade students summatively (assessment of learning) or formatively to support their ongoing learning (assessment for learning and assessment as learning). Assessment for learning occurs throughout the teaching process to clarify student understanding, while assessment as learning involves students self-assessing and adjusting their own learning for deeper understanding.
