The Summative Assessment is a written, end of the term examination which may consist of objective type, short answer and long answer questions. It will be marked/ graded. The 90 marks question paper shall include MCQs, short answer questions and long answer questons.
Formative Assessment can be carried through using multiple modes of assessment such as assignments, quizzes, debates, Group discussions, Projects and only one pen and paper test. It may be clearly communicated to all teachers teaching various subjects that all Projects and assignments must be done as group activities within the class and school time only. Each subject must have only one paper pencil test under Formative Assessment. The other modes of assessment must be part of classroom interactive activities.
For making evaluation comprehensive, both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects should be given importance. Co-scholastic areas will consist of Life-Skills, Attitudes and Values, Co-scholastic Activities and Health and Physical Education.
The details regarding the descriptors for grading co-scholastic areas and the process of arriving at a grade is given in the Teachers’ Manual.
