What is the difference between formative and summative evaluation?

What will be an ideal response?


Formative evaluation takes place during the development process; summative evaluation occurs after the completion of a project. As Bob Stake puts it [Scriven 1991], “When the cook tastes the soup in the kitchen, that’s formative; when the guests taste the soup, that’s summative.”
