The most effective summative assessments are those that allow students to apply what they have learned in authentic situations. They require students to generate, rather than choose, a response. (Wiggins, 1993) They are based on the premise that “We all have different strengths and weaknesses in how we learn. Similarly we are different in how we can best demonstrate what we have learned” (Mueller, 2001). Authentic assessments attempt to meet the needs of this diverse range of learners.
In this module, you will understand the relationship between summative assessments, grading, and reporting.
