Recenzje

"The fresh treatment of concepts [is] characterized in the text by simplification and usage of non-technical explanations. The methods presented appear effective and innovative because of the new emphasis placed on higher levels of authenticity, and the appendix updates the changes made on the most common tests allowing readers to make informed decisions about what tests could be used to place students in their classrooms. The value of this book lies in its ability to introduce new trends in testing and make testing terminology accessible to non-experts who want to make or choose an appropriate assessment for their incoming college students."—Education Review
