Trade ReviewIt is well written, informative, and I believe superior to other books. -- Jacquelene Robeck, University of Louisiana, USA I haven't found any other book that is current in comparing manual grading to computer grading that is still in print. It is a PERFECT book for the market niche. -- Carol Roscheck Sapos, Santa Monica College, USA The book's approach fits exactly with my course needs. It is simple, easy to read and straight to the point. -- Kelly Reddy-Best, Oregon State University, USA
