When evaluating students for knowledge, mastery, and understanding, professors may use formative or summative assessments.

Core Competencies
Core competencies reflect the global, technological, and historical perspectives that are essential for all RCSJ graduates; however, each program varies regarding competencies required for a specific degree.
