5.0 out of 5 stars I love it

One of my better textbooks. Personally, I think the content is extremely interesting. I am a math person who loves to investigate and apply those skills to my classroom practices. I think for non-math folks it is an easy read. The chapter on reliability and variability may leave you looking for some additional support text for a longer explanation. But, as an introductory text to assessment, it does a rather thorough job explaining things quickly.

This is actually an excellent textbook. I initially had criticized it's excessive references to assessment tools, but, upon further exploration, the content is explicit, easy to comprehend, organized sequentially and complete. Excellent textbook, true to it's title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but too dense
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
When I was assigned this book, I really did not want to spend the additional money, especially after I had paid thousands in tuition for 12 full time credits and had to purchase additional texts. While I could have not purchased it, and still done well with class notes and additional research, it was very helpful when I took the board exams. It was a good investment.

I did find it a bit dense and too technical.

Found the information direct and relatively well-covered.
Information on actual assessments contains more than the
average parent would necessarily want, yet for the education
professional it's extremely helpful.
