Classroom Assessment: What Teachers Need to Know 9th Edition

Good resource book for all levels of teachers. Beginners to experienced. Something to learn and something to review and refresh.

Very great condition , even though I had to return it. Only because I didn’t need it.

This review concerns the actual book itself and not the seller of the book. I found this text to be confusing and wordy and very poorly written. I'm using this text in a graduate level education course and it is very difficult to use because explanations are convoluted and unnecessarily lengthy.

Like other reviewers, I found this book way overwritten. I have to read pages multiple times to understand what the author is trying to say. Some pages are just walls of obtuse text. By the time I made it to chapter 6 or 7 I started skimming headlines and text boxes, looking for bullet points, and just trying to glean the info I needed to complete assignments because reading more was making me mad and I wasn't retaining anything anyway. The author clearly knows his stuff but the book would benefit from condensed explanations and more real-world examples. Assuming you are reading this book because it is a required text, be ready.

Author’s political agenda seems to seep through in Chapter 10.

This is not for the seller, but the author and book. This man LOVES to hear himself speak ... or write.... This textbook is so wordy, it's hard to understand what the author is even talking about. I would hate to imagine trying to tackle this book with dyslexia. Terrible choice for a text book. Pg. 86 says: "Sometime, try to work polygamous into a casual conversation around the watercooler. Its intimidation power is awesome." I believe this pretty much sums up who this author is and some of the major issues he needs to be working on in his personal as well as professional life.

This review is not intended for the seller, but for the book’s content. This is the worst textbook I’ve ever read, and I’ve read plenty of them. I had to have it for college, and I have stressed myself silly trying to simply read through it. The author is SO wordy and makes the text so difficult to understand, comprehend, and take notes over. Don’t buy this book unless you have to
