Recenzje

"...perhaps the most significant point of all about this publication, is that it derives from government-funded research and has been produced in a context of open debate about genuine alternatives."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology

"...addresses questions of why new forms of assessment are necessary, whether or not the results will be fair and reliable, how change can be accomplished, and what it will all cost...the real interest for a UK audience lies in the differences the book reveals between American and British views of 'alternative' approaches to assessment."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology
