The Art and Science of Assessing Student Performance book is now available. About this book:

Conducting assessment is not just a science, but also an art. One can probably argue that just being well-trained in the processes of conducting assessment is not enough – professional assessment requires the right attitude as well, and attitude is the product of education, training, experience and personality. This book covers the intricacies of conducting assessment in considerable detail, but also caters for the affective domain. The attitude with which assessment is conducted receives its fair share of attention as well. Topics covered include:

• The nature, concepts and approaches to assessment.
• How to prepare for assessment.
• How to conduct assessment.
• How to give feedback on assessment.
• How to review assessment instruments.
