They thought it was a challenge. I don't use every chapter, but I do assign the basic chapters on reliabiity and validity. I chose it because it didn't seem that different from the other texts on my shelf (Aiken, Kaplan, Cohen). Let me know what other feedback you get. John KRod Hetzel wrote:

The consensus among the graduate students was that it was on the difficult side. Anyone have any experience with this text with undergraduates?Rod ______________________________________________Roderick D.

Subject: Re: tests and measurement text
Anastasi & Urbani _Psychological Testing_ seventh edition (Prentice-Hall) is a good book, though doesn't go step-by-step through the construction process. Sage Publications has a short text called _How to Conduct Surveys_ (Fink and Kosecoff, second edition) that is very hands-on, and while it doesn't focus on attitutional surveys it may have enough for you to use. As a reference, I also refer my students to APA's _Directory of Unpublished Experimental Mental Measures_ which most libraries would have (?), which lists all the surveys in the literature that have developed research-type surveys. I find it very useful for the semester project I assign, in which students create their own survey - usually of the attitude type.
If you uncover anything better than these suggestions, I'd like to see it. JKRod Hetzel wrote:
Does anyone have any textbook suggestions for an undergraduate Tests and Measurement class?I'm also looking for a text that takes the reader through the various steps of constructing an attitudinal survey. I had a text like this when I was in my master's program, but I can't remember the author or the title.______________________________________________Roderick D.
