Thanks to all who responded! I will look at this and the other texts, and decided on the basis of the comments to post the chapters (IF I write my own) on our Blackboard/Moodle site, and avoid duplication issues ....

I've never taught tests and measurements to undergraduates, though I was scheduled to do so once. It didn't fill so it was cancelled. The book I picked was specifically one that I felt good about teaching to undergraduates. it was Foundations of Psychological Testing by McIntire and Miller (McGraw Hill). I don't know if it is still in print, though I think I saw it was as recently as 2006. I liked it because it was less of a litany of this test and that with this use and that, and more of an elementary psychometrics book, yet very much related to practicalities of tests. If I were told that someone needs to step in to teach the class next semester, I would immediately go to that book to determine its availability. Good luck with your search!

If you were one of the people who asked me to share what I received, I am sorry to say nothing came in. I am now considering using just my notes for this class, typing them up replete with exercises, summaries, and so forth. I have enough material to write a small book. Questions: Has anyone every done this before? Can the department charge students for the extensive photocopying? Is it worth-while trying to copyright these notes? Any help will be appreciated, as the semester starts in a little over month ... ========================== John W.
