Not a Bad Buy

I bought this book for an Evaluation and Measurement class. The book was more interesting than the class, but it didn't interest me as much as it did other students. The writing is very easy to understand, and at times it can be a little boring. The only problem is that it's made for teachers and other educators, which may not be a problem for anyone else but me. It's not a bad book, and it might even be really useful for anyone considering going into teaching.
