    I used this while working on my graduate degree and have been referring to it for guidance ever since. What I love is that it keeps me on track for designing lessons based on what I want students to know and understand, rather than traditional methods of doing the lesson then designing a test based on that lesson. It also helps me to get the diversity of assessments that the diversity of my students necessitates.
