 TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
 Traditional Assessment
Pencil and paper test

 Alternative Assessment
Formative and Summative
Formative Assessment

• Formative assessment is often done at the

beginning or during a program, thus providing the
opportunity for immediate evidence for student
learning in a particular course or at a particular
point in a program
Summative Assessment

• Summative assessment is comprehensive in nature, provides

accountability and is used to check the level of learning at the
end of the program.
• For example, if upon completion of a program students will have
the knowledge to pass an accreditation test, taking the test
would be summative in nature since it is based on the
cumulative learning experience. Program goals and objectives
often reflect the cumulative nature of the learning that takes
place in a program.
