Summative Assessment
Summative projects, like summative evaluations or assessments, come at the end of a teaching unit or grading period. Such projects (research papers, projects, photo journals, memory books, portfolios, etc.) assess skills as well as content. They may cover an entire unit, semester or grading period. Summative projects help the evaluator to measure individual student performances within the group.
