Kenneth G. Shipley, Julie G. McAfee
Delmar Cengage Learning, 2008
Every SLP Needs This!
I could not function without my "Speech Bible." Every once in a while when I need a quick refresher on certain topics, this book provides me with the information I need. I also like to use their forms when I do informal testing/observations of children.

Health Assessment in Nursing 3 reviews
Janet Weber, Jane H. Kelley
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008
Lab manual
This manual was in excellent condition when I received it. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time, right on time for me to have it for class the next day. It is very useful for health assessments and one cannot adequately complete an assessment without utilizing the checkoff sheets.

Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Magee))8 reviews
David J. Magee
Saunders, 2007
Great contribution to medical education, poor photographs
I bought this textbook together with Ferri's Clinical advisor with great enthusiasm. Though this book has fewer contributors, it offers enormous amount of information on physical assessment. Other than the reference pages at the end of each chapter, you cannot spot a single page that does not have a drawing, a photograph, charts, tables, or tips. You cannot resist but feel great appreciation to ...

Advanced Health Assessment & Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care4 reviews
Joyce E. Dains, Linda Ciofu Baumann, ...
Mosby, 2007
A great resource for the novice or experienced NP!
Although the initial chapter on Clinical Reasoning and Differential Diagnosis is limited, it is a concisely written prelude to a wealth of focused symptom assessment strategies. As a practitioner and a faculty member in a nurse practitioner program, I have found this book to be an excellent teaching resource. Each chapter contains several of the most common symptoms related to a specific body ...

Carolyn Jarvis
Saunders, 2007
Great handheld reference for nursing students!
I use this handheld book for quick references at clinicals and in class. It has great color illustrations and is very easy to read. The full sized text was assigned in my assessment class so I went ahead and bought the handheld. I would reccomend it to any nursing student. It covers everything, and at the end it has a full scale assessment in detail that I found very helpful on my final grade ...

Classroom Assessment: What Teachers Need to Know (5th Edition)8 reviews
W. James Popham
Allyn & Bacon, 2007
If you want to see improvement in your student's progress you've gotta get this book!!!!
Before reading this book, I was at a loss in my classroom as to how to use assessments to monitor progress, evaluate my instructional methods, and to be sure that students were mastering the content. Mr. Popham gives precise research based strategies to do ALL these things and MORE. Most books on assessment are dry and so dense you loathe having to read them but Mr. Popham exceeded my ...

Authentic Assessment for English Language Learners: Practical Approaches for Teachers7 reviews
J. Michael O'Malley, Lorraine Valdez Pierce
Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1996
The Best Assessment Book I've Seen
I bought this for an ESL Assessment class at the graduate level. I also teach ESL at a university, and this book comes in very handy, both in theory and in practice. I especially like the rubrics you give to students so they can assess their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, when working together in groups, students fill out a form after their work is done, stating how well they ...

Psychological Testing and Assessment with Exercises Workbook 5 reviews
Ronald Jay Cohen, Mark Swerdlik
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2004
An excellent resource!
I was surprised to see this book ranked so poorly and then read the predominantly negative reviews of this book. As a psychology instructor and a PhD student I've found this book to be invaluable. It is an excellent introduction to the topic and although I have over a dozen reference tools on psychological assessment I frequently refer to this one when I need a concise definition or brief ...

Principles and Applications of Assessment in Counseling3 reviews
Susan C. Whiston
Brooks Cole, 2008
Everything the counselor needs to know about assessment.
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 ...

Measurement and Assessment in Teaching (10th Edition) 3 reviews
M. David Miller, Robert L. Linn, ...
Prentice Hall, 2008
Quite possibly, the driest text book ever written.
Used for my Measurement & Evaluation class for my MSEd. program, I've already convinced the professor to find a new book for his next group of students. The book has inadequate explanations - all too open ended for my taste, dry writing, and hard to decipher language. It says so much, while saying nothing at all! As if the field of assessment and testing wasn't dry enough, along comes Linn, ...

Great Resource for Counselers - Recommended!
This book aims at helping the practicing counselor in choosing, administering and interpreting psychological assessment procedures and it does its task well! It's not a desk manual for the tests themselves, but teaches you about the nature and use of psychological testing, measuring concepts and testing interpretation in sufficient detail so that I recommend it as first choice if you are ...
