Where was this book when I had to take an assessment class during the fall 2001 Term?At any rate, even though I have already taken an assessment course, I bought this book anyway for my own personal reference. Crazy you say? Consider this...Counselors have to be good consumers of assessments and the information they yield. While no one in their right mind advocates the "test and tell approach," ascribing a level of omniscience reserved only for deity, still tests and measurements can yield a lot of useful data. But what to do with it all? This is where this text comes in.It is simply good, ethical practice to be able to have a fairly good working understanding of the how,when,where, and whys of assessment.Whether you are taking a class, or need a refresher, or you are like me and you are a nut when it comes to doing this the correct way, this book is for you, price notwithstanding.
This book is very easy to read. I had no problem understanding the concepts presented by the author. The author has a way of explaining everything so that it makes sense. I am not a counseling major, yet I understood everything the author was trying to communicate. I enjoyed reading it. I'm glad my professor chose this book. It made a big difference in the overall class experience.
It was exactly what I needed, but for a cheap price. This is an international copy, but it was exactly like the ones my classmates had, except the cover was different but that was the only difference.
This book has good info but the way its written makes it so drawn out, however she has great research.
I like the text because it uses simple language to help you understand complex statistical terms. Undergrads as well as grads can benefit from reading the text.
Great Book!!This book made assessment sound interesting.!This book has great information. It is written not to bore you but to keep your attention.
The book came in great condition and on time. This was a text book I needed for my assessment in counseling course and for a text used in a masters level class it was written in a easy to grasp way.
It is a very easy-to-read book and very information for the basic foundations of assessment. I dislike this academic course, in general, but the book made it simple.
