Summative assessments are typically conducted at which point?

  1. During the learning process

  2. At the end of a unit

  3. At the beginning of a course

  4. Throughout the instruction

The correct answer is: At the end of a unit

Summative assessments are typically conducted at the end of a unit to evaluate students' learning and understanding after instruction has been completed. These assessments serve as a measure of the effectiveness of the teaching that took place and can provide valuable feedback on student performance and areas that may need further attention. This timing allows educators to assess the cumulative knowledge and skills that students have acquired over the course of the unit, enabling them to determine whether learning objectives have been met. In contrast, assessments conducted during the learning process are formative in nature, aimed at monitoring student progress and guiding instruction.
