Assessment as part of PBL should not only come at the end but

should be seen as a learning activity that is embedded throughout

the PBL process. It should become a standard feature of any scaffolding

activities you might plan for your PBL implementation. Such type of
assessment is known as formative assessment.
Please note that the diagram's examples can be a bit confusing as some of
them could work for either formative or summative assessment and it
depends more on how they are used (for example a test would be summative
not formative if done at the end of the year to assess what knowledge has
been attained).
