, PREFACE
In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice
reluctantly, believing that it is a methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has learned.
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well
as recall. Recognizing the importance of multiple- NETA the Nelson Education Teaching
Advantage program to ensure the value of our high quality testbanks.
The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National TeachingFellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and
researcher in the area of multiple- choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had training in two areas: avoiding
common errors in test construction, and developing multiple- choice test questions that to assess higher-level thinking.
All NETA test banks include David for instructors, Choice Tests:
designed to assist you in using Nelson test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
Finance for Non-financial Managers, Seventh Edition, has been revised for students by Jake Chazan. The
multiple-choice questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the development of higher-order thinking and the
effective construction of questions. NETA principles of questionconstruction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork, and unconscious
cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student understanding. The Test Bank offers 2317 questions, including about 599
multiple choice, 516 true/false, 380 problems, 362 completion, and about 460 matching item questions, and about 390 problems.
