Summative measures vary in terms of their authenticity
Low HighAssessments are contrived and divorced from real-life problems and audiences.
Students engage in real life problems to audiences that could benefit from their work.
Assessments are unrelated to students’ lives and needs.
Students can see the value of their learning.
Students are passive. Students are actively involved from beginning to end.
