What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?

What will be an ideal response?


Formative assessment is ongoing, taking place during learning, emphasizing process rather than product, and used to plan or modify instruction. Summative assessment is a review process, taking place after learning, emphasizing the final product, and used to provide an overview of progress at the end of a semester, school year, or other period of time.
