Lots of his pointers are very concrete, although some seem painfully obvious don't use double-negatives in test questions; when writing multiple choice questions, don't give away the answer by using the article "an" when only one option starts with a vowel.

The guidelines for rubrics were quite good as well can students use it to self-assess? Is the rubric general enough to be recycled for other assignments? Are the criteria actually teachable? I also really liked the section on portfolio assessment. One suggestion that I will use is to require students to practice assessing themselves and each other using a rubric, and then to submit a filled-in rubric with their portfolio assignments, so that self-assessment can be part of our conversation.

There's a good explanation of how to create your own Likert inventories, as well. Popham advocates for standards-based testing that is reported by standard rather than in an aggregate.
