- Xing Liu, Pre-revision review
Frey utilizes language that demystifies the world of assessment while still detailing needed aspects without becoming to overly jargony.
- David P. Hazen, Pre-revision review
While assessment is very interesting to professors, it is not for our students. This textbook brings color and life to a perceived drab and dull topic. The necessity and importance of assessment are supported through light humor and real-world application.
- Brandy-Lea McCombs, Pre-revision review
A lot of great practical knowledge around classroom assessment, the strengths and weaknesses of each type of assessment, and ways they can be applied in the classroom.
- Brenna Butler,
I really like the infusion of educational psychology concepts within the text. This not only helps the students to connect it to other learned material, but also increases the relevance and practicality within the classroom.
- Erin Wilson,
I like the example rubrics and teacher views. I think these are important for students to see.
- Tim Pressley,
The language is simple and easy to follow, it emphasizes authentic assessment and students tracking their own learning.
- Elizabeth Glaysher-Cartwright,
I believe the unique feature of the book is that it encourage students to "apply their own personal philosophies to classroom teaching and assessment approaches" and the equity and justice aspects.
