About the Author Robert Runté, Ph.D. |

Dr. Runté took early retirement from the Faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge to become a full-time editor. (Editing books is like having really good graduate students.) He taught courses in authentic assessment and test design. Before becoming a professor, he was a Test Development Specialist with the Student Evaluation Branch of Alberta Education, responsible for the Grade 3, 6 and 9 Social Studies Achievement Tests.
This site was initiated by Dr. Runté in support of his Educ 3604 course module on Student Assessement and to assist instructors everywhere in marking more efficiently and effectively, and to improve the quality of feedback students receive.
