What is the difference between formative and summative?

Purpose, not format. Formative informs instruction while learning is in progress. Summative judges achievement at the end. The same quiz can be either depending on what you do with the result, which is the point most coursework wants you to make.

This comes up on Assessment and Evaluation Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
