Praise for the Second Edition of Assessment Clear and Simple

"Walvoord's approach to assessment is wonderfully straightforward; it is also effective in facilitating faculty engagement in assessment. We've applied a number of her methods to our campus assessment efforts with success. This book makes assessment both manageable and useful in improving and enhancing student learning."—Martha L. A. Stassen, director of assessment, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and president, New England Educational Assessment Network (NEEAN)

"Walvoord's work clearly presents the basics for getting started in assessment of student learning while honestly addressing the complexities of assessment when driven by faculty passion for student learning. This book is a valuable resource for the novice as well as the developing experts who are leading their institutions in academic assessment."—Bobbi Allen, faculty assessment director, Delta College

Practical Primer on Educational Assessment

D.W. · 1 March 2023

This is now an older treatment of assessment in educational settings, but it’s still useful because of the very practical and general nature of the information. I would recommend this as an introduction to the topic from a practical point of view.

The title says it all

d. · 20 December 2013

This is an excellent short but comprehensive guide to assessment. I already have the author's book on effective grading which I also recommend highly.

Perfect for our needs

R. · 26 December 2013

This is a great starting point for those who aren't familiar with assessment or have no idea where to start the process.
