Each chapter begins with a strong teaching and learning
foundation. The latter part of each chapter is assessment
specific, covering available assessment measures and approaches
to assessment. The authors go well beyond simple descriptions of
assessment measures and provide a conceptual discussion of the
evaluation process that helps the reader understand how
assessment measures fit into the overall evaluation process. The
evaluation component is geared toward assessing the important
aspects of the construct as laid out in the early part of each
chapter. Each chapter then concludes with a case example to
illustrate the measures and techniques described.
