(1) diagnostic: tells us what the student needs to learn
(2) formative: tells us how well the student is going as work progresses,
(3) summative: tells us how well the student did at the end of a unit/task.

That should we assess are: student work at all stages of development but particularly at the end, student process, acquisition of knowledge and skills, development of sophistication and complexity in student work
