{"product_id":"the-realities-of-classroom-testing-quentin-durham-9781578863891","title":"The Realities of Classroom Testing and Grading: A Guide to Performance Issues","description":"It is commonly believed that highly subjective humans ultimately perform all testing and grading efforts and that all testing and grading is completely subjective. However, Quentin Durham argues that there is no such thing as \"objective\" testing or grading. With wit and clarity, \u003ci\u003eThe Realities of Classroom Testing and Grading\u003c\/i\u003e suggests that all testing and grading efforts-from preschool to high school-are fundamentally the same. The instructor teaches what the student is supposed to learn, assesses the student's understanding, and reports the assessment to the people who count. This book discusses a wide variety of generally taboo or ignored topics such as the multiple benefits of testing and grading beyond the obvious, realities of standardized exams, open book exams, teaching exam-taking, exam subjectivity and relevance, \"test wiley\" students, cheating, parent conferences, grading methods that make sense, and lots more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quentin Durham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1578863899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578863891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.56w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 243","brand":"Quentin Durham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459543642367,"sku":"9781578863891","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a74caf34-022e-4934-8fc3-4347864f70e8.jpg?v=1777410348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-realities-of-classroom-testing-quentin-durham-9781578863891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
