Detailed Explanation
Understanding Formative vs. Summative Assessment

Conversely, Summative Assessment acts as assessment of learning, utilized at the end of an instructional period to evaluate performance levels, assign grades, and provide certification.

- Summative Assessment: Evaluative, periodic, and focused on grading and outcomes.
