If you take a moment, I bet you can think back to the first time you ordered something off the menu at a restaurant when you were out with your family. This course is a bit like that – ordering something off a menu at a restaurant. You selected this course off of a menu of courses and certainly, I don’t have to tell you the price you paid for your “meal.” My job is like the chef in the restaurant. I want to serve you the most appetizing and nutritious food I can. But unlike that meal with your family, I will not hound you if you are not hungry. Why? Well, from my experiences with my own kids, I know I cannot make you eat what I prepare. That is your choice. But I hope that you come to this class hungry. I will present the prominent ideas, theories and principles developed that form the foundationof testing and measurement. To assist you in learning the course material, I have assigned the following tasks for you to complete. . .
