Students map out their understanding of a

staff on students’ understanding.
An exam which requires students to do
Formative /
‘Doing it’ exam Written something, like read an article, analyze and

Students are required to produce a written/ oral
Field report Written/ Oral report relating to a field/ site visit. Formative

Students are required to write a report for all (or

a designated sample) of practical’s in a single lab
book. A sample of lab books will be collected
each week to mark any reports of labs done in

sampled the same number of times throughout
the module with a designated number

Can be useful for diagnostic, formative
Multiple choice assessment, in addition to summative assessment.
Formative /
questions Written Well-designed questions can assess more than

Students are assessed on the basis of their

Students have the opportunity to use any or

removes the over-reliance on memory and recall

could also be asked to prepare associated
