There is good and useful information for teachers in this book. However, few will find it beneath the hundreds of pages that you will never get through.

I read the first nine chapters or this textbook as part of a course about assessment. It is an overview of planning and writing effective assessments for classroom teachers. I found the book to have a lot of excellent academic information and practical tips for classroom practice. The only issue is that it was a very technical book, and so the readability was low. One really has to dig in and think about what's being said. However, this book is written at the graduate level for professional educators, so the facts that it doesn't read like a novel and the information is not easy to grasp, is to be expected. Overall, a very through examination of assessment in the classroom with excellent advice for writing and planning them. Very useful for all professional educators.

This was one of the textbooks for my graduate program and I have to be honest, this was one of the worst textbooks I have ever had to read. It was so dry and technical that it was not learner friendly at all.

This was the main text for my masters class on assessments and measurements. I learned so much, but you have to be dedicated to get through this book.

Assessment is deeper than I thought. Very eye-opening information is shared in this book.
