I learned that I have always used the assessments described in this unit however I haven't always thought of them using these terms. 

I believe, as teachers, we are most used to giving summative assessments which don't tell us how the student is progressing each day. 

It's important and profitable for the student and teacher to take time to research which assessment tool is most appropriate for each learning objective. It's best to use multiple tools and important to provide, and ask for, feedback.
