Paperback. Condition: Good. Imagine a truly practical guide to the creation and use of assessments in higher ed. classrooms This is it--a basic, common sense assessment literacy guide that maximized quality, saves time and, turns assessment into a teaching tool.

In addition, the presentation on effective communication differentiates between the use of feedback to support student learning (formative applications) and to certify it (summative).…
