This publication has arrived just at the right time for our new Foundation Degree in Teaching and Learning Support! The content encourages theory to practice by defining terms relating to assessment in such clear and effective ways which will definitely help less experienced practitioners to demystifying educational assessment by answering those questions they may not like to ask. -- Mr Deb Hewitt * drupal *
I have now completed the reading of this text and I have found it to be very accessible and it covers a number of the main principles that learners on our courses need to grasp, the glossary is also very useful. As a direct consequence we have made it an essential reader. -- Mr Derek Allford * drupal *
This textbook is very detailed but I felt that the level is not quitue right, it is detailed and interesting and shows the key themes covering the assessment process. I think that as additional reading this would be useful but not as a core reader. -- Mr Graeme Athey * drupal *
A basic text but a handy summary of key issues. -- Mr Neil Rutledge * drupal *
Unfortunately books already confirmed for course but will be looking out for next review -- Mr William Power * drupal *
Brilliant book for Teachers Trainers! One of the best I have seen for assessment - well, this and Tummons′s book. It goes into sufficient depth but not too much detail on a range of different types of assessment from APL to Work-based Assessment (WBA). This book is accessible to everyone and should be in every college′s LRC. Great for AET and DET trainees alike! -- Mr Yvert De Souza * drupal *
