Customer Reviews

An excellent resource - well organized

This book was the assigned text for a doctoral course in policy evaluation in a college of education. The book lays out a thoughtful process for program evaluation, and this was easily adapted by the instructor and students to apply to the policy analysis domain. The book is well-organized and uses easy to understand concepts and flow charts that could assist anyone charged with a program or policy evaluation. This book will be a reference book on my shelf for many years in the future.
