A summative assessment is one that is given at the end of an instructional unit in a course. These assessments are designed to assess student learning by comparing results to a standard or benchmark. They are frequently high-stakes, which means they have a high point value. Midterm exams, final exams, and final projects are examples of summative assessments.
Students are given summative assessments at the end of an instructional period. They are evaluative rather than diagnostic and are used to determine whether a course's learning objectives were met. Summative assessments, as opposed to formative assessments, are formal and involve clear instructions, expectations, and grading rubrics to assess student comprehension.
