Formative assessments
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student’s learning process. It is used to assess how much your students have learned so far and to diagnose which topics or parts need to be addressed more fully. Most importantly, formative assessment helps your students to focus on what’s going well, what needs to be improved and how to work on those aspects. That is the reason why giving and receiving feedback is one of the most important parts of this assessment.
