About Assessments

• Formative Assessments are...Knowledge, Concept, and Skill Practice: at-home and in-class activities that are given feedback, but NOT graded. These assessments are meant to give the instructor and the student feedback regarding the student's efforts to meet the unit’s learning objectives and prepare for the Summative Assessment(s).
