Formative assessments will help students and me stay on task without going off topic. They will help in keeping the project in a step-by-step progression so nothing is inadvertently omitted. It is important to give students feedback so they do not become discouraged or feel trapped. It is much easier for them to make small corrections then to redo large portions, which may diminish enthusiasm or confidence.

Yes. Formative assessments are especially important with projects to track how students are responding to the concepts. Are they on track? Where do they need guidance?

Formative assessments allow you to see if the students are understanding the content standards of the project. I believe the assessments throughout the project will keep students on task and will allow the teacher to work on individual weaknesses of each student. This will cause less frustration on the student and lead to the completion of the project.

Especially with the accounting project. There are discrete skills they must know to keep everything working. Formative monitoring will help them.
