Summative Assessment

Summative assessment - is a final assessment which occurs at the end of an experience and is decision making in nature. It consists of an assessment of the extent to which a student has achieved the outcomes/objectives for a work-based placement as a whole, or a substantial part of it, contributing to the grading of a student.
