520			_a"With a signature, conversational writing style and straightforward presentation, Neil J. Salkind's best-selling Tests & Measurement for People Who (Think They) Hate Tests & Measurement guides readers through an overview of categories of tests, the design of tests, the use of tests, and some of the basic social, political, and legal issues that the process of testing involves. New co-author Bruce B. Frey has streamlined the table of contents for ease of use; added more content on validity and reliability throughout; more closely connected standardized tests to classroom instruction, adding more on classroom assessment; and added a chapter on surveys and scale development. An instructor website includes a test bank and PowerPoint slides." -- Provided by the publisher.
