ARE they the same or are they different? THey have elements the same but the end result are different....
so the tokra they are "technically" paracitic gould but they dont force themselves on the host like gould, assessment "technically" tells you what the student is doing in your class but it doesn't force a final grade , that and it is much more curriculum objective based. for ex: Donnie has learned to use a blog effectively in EDIT350 would be an assessment, but donnie gets a B is an evaluation of his blogging skills. Summative year end Evaluations are problematic because for the overall year you may get a C but that doesn't tell you that i got all A in science but all F in english class, so what does the C really mean? i know that unless we go to a system of modularize every section of a course and give grades on each one and allow individual modules to be repeated then we can't really change the summative grades for a class but i just think that maybe we should tweek the norm to get a better assessment (or evatuation) of what the student knows.

(insert glowing eyes and weirder voice here). This is sticky subject...In most classes, each unit builds on the previous. I don't believe that modular sections would work for every type of course. I give grade per unit, and the average of those grades is the student's final evaluation. I think it's fair.
