Student Scores: More Than Just a NumberBy: Brian Pinney, Ph.D.
Educational Specialist Exams and other forms of summative assessment are ubiquitous in higher education for obvious reasons.

Additionally, the exam score itself is rather poor feedback for the student regarding how they can improve or move forward (Wiggins, 2012). It is easy to see exam scores or performance as a fixed entity; something that has already occurred and therefore is of somewhat limited value once the score has been issued and points returned (if applicable). And rest assured, issues with exam scores as feedback for improvement have been known for some time (for example, Crooks, 1933; Linder, 1940).
