Formative assessment using quizzes, tests, and exams has been shown to be one of the most powerful strategies to ensure that students do well on summative assessments and that retention rates increase. This interactive workshop clarifies the concepts of formative assessment, summative assessment, and competency and shows how outcome based assessment that includes the science of learning is used for a learning measure and a strategy for teaching and learning. A coding system that links test item response to outcome statements and replaces grades with outcome attainment values will be demonstrated, including how to map course-level outcome attainment values to program and institutional goals.
