Reviews for Conducting Needs Assessments: A Multidisciplinary Approach

The Soriano text is excellent in providing graduate students with basic knowledge on how to conceptualize the needs assessment process, design the instruments for the study, and how to analyze and present the data. The value of this book is in its simplicity. The chapters are logical, building on the one before it. The style and readability of the text is excellent. -- Frederick L. Ahearn 20120601 The strength of the book is that it provides a quick and comprehensive overview of assessment. Upon reading the text, my students have been better prepared to learn (in more depth) the specific concepts covered in the book. It really has helped me 'set the stage' for my students to develop skills necessary to conduct an assessment (in-class learning), and apply their skills to a real-world situation (community-based assessment projects). -- Ellen Lopez 20120601 The book is user-friendly in that it is logically organized, provides examples and exercises, and presents a clear picture of the needs assessment process. The provision of real-life examples is particularly important and helpful to the reader, in that they make the content come to life. -- Michael Woodford 20120601
