Textbook Evaluation: A Systematic Approach

This is a book my daughter needed for school. It is exactly the book the professor required for the course, and it provides valuable information pertinent to the course of study.

Evaluation

It is an excellent text both as a University course requirement and for social elevation. The authors provide such a wide array of cases in the texts that are social and policy issues in the United States that are also issues in Canada and other parts of the world. The notion of greater good of the society is so valuable as to raise the social consience.

The book was new, and it came promptly.

The transaction was all that I expected. I am stisfied.

A primo primer

This book works well as an introductory textbook to the field of Evaluation -- including a brief history of its origins, essential components of evaluation, theory, and designs. If you are looking for a class in Evaluation 101, or a refresher course on the principles of evaluation, this is a good textbook for you. I am in the process of reading the 6th edition cover to cover (something I never do), and have hopped on line to order the latest edition so that I can upgrade.

Extremely helpful text!

It is always hard to keep personal bias out of the picture when evaluating an employee or coworker. This book understands that concept and goes beyond other books to demonstrate exactly how to do just that!
