RealWorld Evaluation: Working Under Budget, Time, Data, and Political Constraints 2nd Edition

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.

Really great handbook for evaluators. It can serve as an introduction to evaluation for a relative beginner or can be used by higher-level experts stuck on a certain topic. The worksheets in the appendices are great. I really enjoyed reading this. Fantastic resource for international development evaluation specialists

Book was needed for a college course. Arrived in excellent condition without markings and ready to use.

Okay - the book is mandatory and therefore I had to get it. It was very hard to read and if read at the wrong time - knocked you out and put you to sleep. But, it was informative - just very very dry.

Just Kidding. I'm sure this book is really well written, but I think it is written for a person who already has a doctorate in program evaluation. Very difficult to understand and very dense with high level text that assumes a certain level of background knowledge.

Difficult read, referenced it for class very little

Perfect for what I needed.

This book is very difficult to understand. It is not user friendly. It has too any bullets with very little explanations. More of headings and little clarification.
