Summative Assessments

Valerie, It is truly summing up knowledge or skills. You do need to make sure it is friendly for both student and instructor. I have seen technology for assessment that was great until they had so many on the website that it crashed. This was part of our state testing. Students were a nervous wreck but it wasn't their fault. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Cristy, I agree with you. Students seem to retain the information better if they can connect it to the real world or to something in their careers. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
