Designed as a how to manual, this book is aimed at those with an interest in promoting best practice in assessment and student and trainee evaluation and feedback. Starting with theoretical basics, the book introduces the reader to all of the assessment types used within health sciences education today. Each chapter then considers practical issues surrounding assessment and offers sections of trouble shooting for those designing and writing assessments.  The book itself is fully-supported by a companion website containing worked examples and sample exemplar assessments that can be modified for personal use.
