Assessing students is very important in order to take certain
decisions toward the students. However, the tool we use might differ. Many never
use any tool except the paper test one. Also, many use summative evaluation only;
they don’t take in to consideration the students’ work in class. They don’t even
ask them any tasks to do, or if they did many teachers would not take them in
to consideration in taking the final grade for the students. In my opinion,
formative assessment is important as the summative one. Students’ development
in class should be taken into consideration. It is not fair for students
working all the period of learning and the day of the exam they were sick or
had a problem they would fail and the careless ones succeed and get a better
grade just because they studied for the final exam. What do you think? Is this
right? Do you think formative assessment is important too?
