Influence Definition: This involves providing instruction or feedback during the lesson rather than at the end (summative) of a lesson or series of lessons. As Bob Stake noted, when the cook tastes the soup, it is formative evaluation; when the guests taste the soup, it is summative evaluation. It can also be a way for teachers to determine if the strategies they are using to teach are effective or need, changed, or a need to reteach.
