Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Utilization Focused Evaluation   November 10, 2008
Overall the book provides an excellent overview of the different evaluation methods as well as offering significant tips on helping both internal and external program evaluators. The book is ideal for graduate students as well as evaluators just entering the field. In addition, it provides non-profit evaluation departments with an excellent foundation on developing more effective internal quality improvement units within their own organizations.
