The assessment of Nursing acvademic modules is very important and this book describes the theory that applies to the practice of undertaking assessment.
This little book is part if a series and all contributing authors have dealt with their areas of subject expertise in a consistent format.
An excellent resource to guide students in their preparation for a variety of assessments. When used in conjunction with course specific guidance this text should enable students to get a grasp of what is required through the assessment process and enable them to direct their preparation in a focussed manner.
Very useful to all nursing studnets who are undertaking OSCE and Exams. This is a tool that has been recomended to the first year students especially
Provides introduction and overview of assessment startegies employed. OSCE and portfolio chapters lack depth and given that these are new areas would have anticipated more detailed information and particularly the need to focus on safe practice within OSCE's
This was a good book but felt that it was not relevant to our course
