About the Author
W. James Popham has spent the bulk of his educational career as a teacher. His first teaching assignment, for example, was in a small eastern Oregon high school where he taught English and social studies while serving as yearbook advisor, class sponsor, and unpaid tennis coach.� That recompense meshed ideally with the quality of his coaching.
�
����������� Most of Dr. Popham's teaching career took place at UCLA where, for nearly 30 years, he taught courses in instructional methods for prospective teachers as well as courses in evaluation and measurement for graduate students.� At UCLA he won several distinguished teaching awards.� In January 2000, he was recognized by UCLA Today as one of UCLA’s top 20 professors of the 20th century.� (He notes that the 20th century was a full-length century, unlike the current abbreviated one.)� In 1992, he took early retirement from UCLA upon learning that emeritus professors received free parking.
�
����������� Because at UCLA he was acutely aware of the perishability of professors who failed to publish, he spent his non-teaching hours affixing words to paper.� The result: over 25 books, 200 journal articles, 50 research reports, and 175 papers presented before research societies.� Although not noted in his official vita, while at UCLA he also authored 1,426 grocery lists.
�
����������� His most recent books are Classroom Assessment: What Teachers Need to Know, 4th Ed. (2005) and Assessment for Educational Leaders (2006), Allyn & Bacon; The Truth About Testing: An Educator’s Call to Action (2001) and Test Better, Teach Better: the Instructional Role of Assessment (2003), ASCD; America’s “Failing” Schools: How Parents and Teachers Can Cope with No Child Left Behind (2005) and Mastering Assessment: A Self-Service System for Educators (2006), RoutledgeFalmer.� He encourages purchase of these books because he regards their semi-annual royalties as psychologically reassuring.
�
����������� In 1978, Dr. Popham was elected to the presidency of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).� He was also the founding editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a quarterly journal published by AERA.� He has attended each year's AERA meeting since his first in 1958.� He is inordinately compulsive.
�
����������� In 1968, Dr. Popham established IOX Assessment Associates, an R&D group that formerly created statewide student achievement tests for a dozen states.� He has personally passed all of those tests, largely because of his unlimited access to the tests’ answer keys.
�
����������� In 2002 the National Council on Measurement in Education presented him with its Award for Career Contributions to Educational Measurement. In 2006 he was awarded a Certificate of Recognition by the National Association of Test Directors. �Dr. Popham’s complete 42-page, single-spaced vita can be requested.� It is really dull reading.

Nope.
By Michelle Elise
This was a terrible book to read. The information is great but Popham has this way of writing that tells you the same information in 10 different, complicated ways. It takes way too long to get through. If you're a teacher, your students will resent you.

Easy to understand, helpful for K-12 teachers
By R. Kelly Wagner
Popham's work is some of the easiest-to-read, least jargon filled, in the area of designing classroom tests. Chapter by chapter, he takes the reader through the different kinds of test questions, how to write them, how to grade them, how to tell if your students understand what you're asking; then he provides case studies, examples, and lists of further reading.
The easy kinds of questions come first: selected-response, that is, questions where the test-taker picks an answer from ones provided by the teacher, such as multiple-choice, true-false, and matching. Popham explains how to write these clearly, how to reduce the confusion on the direction of true-false questions (and why it's NOT a good idea to try and "trick" your students by writing ambiguous or deliberately confusing answers).
Then the constructed-response type of questions, that is, ones where students write the answers: short-answer and essay. Again, Popham discusses how to write these clearly, how to write instructions indicating what kind of answer you expect, and, perhaps most important, especially for the novice teacher, how to grade these types of questions. He goes through the issue of "rubrics" - grading systems for essay questions which tell how many points will be given for different features of the answer, such as the value of the information, the spelling and grammar, the use of certain key words, etc, and how to decide what will constitute an "excellent" or "acceptable" or "not acceptable" answer in those categories.
One of the most extensive and informative features of the book is Popham's sidebars on how to explain to students why they have to take these kinds of tests, and, even more, how to explain tests to parents, especially standardized tests. Explaining to parents what the tests are supposed to measure, and how test results will be used, is a very big issue these days, especially in states with high-stakes testing; Popham's book will give you practice in addressing questions from parents, administrators, etc.

Good info, but annoying writing style
By J.L.
I had to buy this book to use in a class I'm taking. I find the information in the book to be very complete and packed full of useful information. However, in an effort to lighten the heaviness of the topic, the author resorts to silly interjections and comments that destroy the flow of the text. I found it jarring and annoying.
