Preface
Both multiple-choice and essay-type items are written for each chapter. The selected-
response items were written following the guidelines of Haladyna & Rodriguez (2013)1 in which
they summarize best practice in test development. The guidelines include: 1) State the central
idea in the stem of the item; 2) Minimize the amount of reading in the response options; 3) Use
only options that are plausible and discriminating; 4) Qualify statements or questions; 5) Write
multiple-choice items with three response options (i.e., one correct option and two distractors).
The test bank contains ~twenty multiple-choice items and five to seven essay items for
each chapter. Chapter 1 is an introductory chapter with little content and subsequently has fewer
questions than the other chapters. Answers to the multiple-choice items can be found at the back
of this document.
