Formative Assessments: To monitor the students’ learning progress, assessment tasks such as homework exercises and
short quizzes are continually given. These tasks may or may not be graded. Based on how the students may perform the
tasks, the teacher gives formative feedback and initiates necessary interventions to keep the students right on the learning

further needed and what additional efforts student must make in order to be successful in the Midterm Exam or in the Final
