The second edition of this publication is a timely, authoritative reference work that belongs on the bookshelves of anyone involved in assessment. --Trudie E. Roberts, President of the Association of Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) and Professor and Director of the Leeds Institute of Medical Education, University of Leeds, UK. This book serves as a foundation for assessment practice and research. The second edition is comprehensive and updates the previous edition with the most recent literature.
