Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value. We cover it by questioning during the lectures given during consolidation.
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Such assessments are often high stakes, with a high point value.
We cover that requirement by progress tests and mock exams.
so the last progress test under KSA (summative assessment) is a case study type question? It suggests only one question to answer.
