This
particular routine is embedded in Hake's SDI labs where the
labs are marked,
but not graded, and the final grade comes from a lab test.
The marking is a
good example of formative assessment, while the lab grade is summative
assessment.

If I understand this correctly, then the lab grade boils down to a single
final exam ("lab test"). One could make a good arguement that this is how
it should be. Of course, one could make good counter-arguements as well.
