 * Formative Assessment:** is generally carried out throughout a course or project. Formative assessment, also referred to as **educative assessment**, is used to aid learning. In an educational setting, formative assessment might be a teacher (or [|peer]) or the learner, providing feedback on a student's work, and would not necessarily be used for grading purposes.


 * Summative Assessment:** Summative assessment is generally carried out at the end of a course or project. In an educational setting, summative assessments are typically used to assign students a course grade.
