Douglas Dow (Author, University of Texas, Dallas), Jeremy Duff (Author, Midwestern State University), Kevin Wallsten (Author, Cal State Long Beach) Revised and updated with new multiple choice, true/false, and essay questions, the 8e test bank includes over 2,000 questions in all. Questions are categorized by question type and difficulty and have concept labels based on the concept map at the beginning of every chapter according to Norton's new guidelines for assessment. Norton uses an innovative, evidenced-based model to deliver high-quality and pedagogically effective quizzes and testing materials. The framework to develop our test banks, quizzes, and support materials is the result of collaboration with leading academic researchers and advisers with the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The result: Assessment resources that; (a) define expected student competencies; (b) provide even distribution of concepts and topics; and (c) ensure links to topics are specific, not general. All Norton test banks are available with Exam View Test Generator software, allowing instructors to effortlessly create, administer, and manage assessments, and making it easy to create customized exams. Other key features include the ability to create paper exams with algorithmically generated variables and export files directly to Blackboard, WebCT, and Angel.
