I gave 4 stars to this book, because the author is not reflecting the reality of clinical practice. For example, students who have good academic grades necessarily would succeed in clinical settings. From my practice, it is opposite -they get lost, and have problems to connect the academic knowledge with hand on experience. For that reason it seems to me that the author has very minimal practical and clinical experience that leads to misinforming students, professors and instructors about evaluation process.
A very practical, relatively simple book on testing & evaluation. Will definitely continue to use this long after my class is over. A keeper!!
This was a required textbook for a graduate program class, and I have been able to use it as a reference for subsequent classes. The topic is somewhat limited, but the information is current and relevant.
Excellent book. The only thing I would recommend deals with resources. I would have appreciated research article references for C.16 in addition to the text books.
Easy to understand, gold mine of information for nursing educators. I think this should sit right beside the Billings book in importance on your shelf.
This book was thoughtfully written. It delivers a deal of information that is easily read and incorporated. I would strongly recommend it.
This book is well written, logically laid out, and contains relevant information. It was a good choice by my school.
Very useful book. I am enrolled in a Master's of Nursing Education program which required this.
