WBA tools, when combined in a registrar's e-portfolio to create a central and integrating concept whose purpose is both formative (educational) and
summative (high stakes), are a means of planning and implementing lifelong learning to enhance performance, improve quality of care and enhance the effectiveness of our health systems.
The formative assessment element is created after the finishing of online and face-to-face teaching and learning for every aspect while
summative assessment is carried out after the completion of the teaching and learning process that involves three aspects.
Summative assessment is a process to assess the learning outcomes.
Criteria for
summative evaluations should be developed in cooperation with the administrators and teachers while adhering to strict guidelines, forms, and timelines.
Formative Assessment Formative Assessment is different from
summative assessment as it focuses on the learning and improvement of learners rather than taking decisions on "pass" or "fail".
In summary, STANYS takes the position that students who fail to meet the laboratory requirement should not have their Regents exam grade of zero factored into the teacher's final
summative SLO rating.
A formative evaluation occurred during the first half of the semester, and a
summative evaluation occurred during the last half of the semester.

Whereas group designs, typically the basis for
summative evaluation, are readily accepted as providing scientific evidence for program effectiveness, single subject designs typically form the basis for formative evaluation.
Of the total candidates, 495 opted for the examination conducted by the school, which comprised two parts as
Summative Assessment 1 (SA-1) and
Summative Assessment 2 (SA-2) at the end of the two semesters of the academic year 2010 to 2011.
We need to move beyond these
summative evaluations and examine the possibilities of using formative assessments to better meet student needs.
Replacing a singular
summative assessment with multiple forms teaches to the entire class, attacks the cognitive domain from all angles and helps students "see" the connection between what is on paper and how it applies within the student's experience.
