#Assessment
Sometimes, a normally high performing student performs poorly in an exam due to nerves, poor health or a domestic situation.
Conversely, an average student who has received unrelenting coaching towards the exams may do excellently well
and then come out as the best student.
Same thing with teacher's assessment, a good teacher on a normal day may come across as fair or even poor if the students act up or something happens at home or on the way to work, the day she/he is being formally observed.
So, does summative assessment really give a true picture of the student's performance? 😎
