Which type of evaluation is carried out at the end of a course of study?
ASummative ✓ Correct
BAssessment
CFormative
DBoth summative and formative
Correct answer: (A) Summative
Explanation
Evaluation carried out at the end of a course of study is summative evaluation.
It sums up total achievement and is used for grading or certification.
Assessment is a broad process of collecting information, not a stage tied to course end.
Formative evaluation takes place during the course to guide ongoing learning.
Saying both summative and formative is wrong, since formative is not end-of-course.
Summative comes after learning, whereas formative accompanies learning.
