[quote=Anonymous]Here is what really bugs me (and my kid) about summative and formative grading... in one of his classes he got a 75 on the first (and only summative) test and has gotten 100 on all the formative stuff. He has an 82.5 overall. If he gets anything less than 100 on any formative assignments, it will bring his grade down (granted not by much, but still...). The good news is any grade higher than a 75 on a summative will bring the grade up, but there aren't many summatives. It just seems like there should be more day to day opportunities to bring the grade up, rather than the day to day (aka formative) stuff only having the possibility to bring it down at this point. No question, just a vent.[/quote]
