[quote=Anonymous]I teach at the college level and agree that the issue is summative assessments that are too short. The terms are annoying, but summative is just another word for a high stakes assessment like a test and formative is the same as low stakes assignments like homework or short in class exercises. A kid who only does well on the low stakes assignments but does poorly on tests should not get a high grade in the class. Low stakes assignments are usually practice where you can use your class notes and things and go over them together. You’re on your own for tests and usually have to synthesize the information. But one question wrong should not result in a C or even a B. That’s poor test design. [/quote]
