Comments, suggestions, and questions on the How to Write Tests website are always welcome. Send email to runte@hg.uleth.ca If you are sending email, I'd like to know if you are a teacher, student teacher, parent, or student and what course you are teaching or taking. (I'd also love to know where you are writing from.)

If you would like a reply, please be patient. If I am away at a conference, it might take me a week or two to get back to my email. But I will try to answer as soon as I can.
