REVIEWS

This is an excellent and accessible resource for both students and practitioners of program evaluation. The chapter on ‘Using Mixed Methods in Evaluation’ alone is worth the investment in this book.

(Debra Bartelli, University of Memphis)

The comprehensiveness of the text is its greatest strength. It hits all the right keys. It has an easy readability and an excellent mix of text, graphics, teaching tools.

(Nancy G. Calleja, University of Detroit Mercy)

With a focus on the practical aspects of evaluation, this textbook also integrates very relevant, and frequently overlooked, theoretical and conceptual frameworks that are extremely valuable for evaluators.
