Praise for the Eighth Edition “This thoughtfully designed text provides an update on a classic tool for understanding evaluation.” —Brian Boggs, University of Michigan and Michigan State University “The eighth edition continues to offer broad instruction in program evaluation concepts, methods, and practice, from planning to communicating results. The addition of critical thinking and discussion questions provides the opportunity for classroom discussion as well as application of concepts. I recommend this text for use with master’s and doctoral level students.” —Nancy Bridier, Grand Canyon University “The eighth edition is a wonderful resource for professional degree students, and can also provide a practical component for students taking a practicum class.” —Raven Brown, Baruch College, CUNY “An excellent and concise book defining the systematic approach to program evaluation: the best resource for both students and researchers.” —Anil Kumar Chaudhary, Pennsylvania State University “The long-awaited eighth edition includes materials and chapters that reflect current developments in the field of evaluation research. The new edition, with substantive revisions, provides foundational knowledge and perspectives on evaluation without losing the legacy and wisdom of Dr. Rossi.” —Young Ik Cho, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee “The eighth edition is a massive improvement on an already stellar text. The breadth and depth of coverage, while still keeping a practical focus, make this the go-to book for program evaluation classes and practitioners alike.” —B. Andrew Chupp, Indiana University “As a professor and a program evaluator, I find that this book presents a realistic, pragmatic view of program evaluation. Clearly presented, the authors use the same language I use with clients, which helps to ease students’ transition to the workplace.” —Leslie Eaton, SUNY Cortland “This book truly represents the gold standard on everything one would want or need to know about program evaluation, including checklists and diagrams. The Planning an Evaluation chapter basically provides a step-by-step guide to performing a program evaluation with as much rigor as possible. The entire text is rich with examples of actual program assessments.” —Kristin Grosskopf, University of Nebraska–Lincoln “An earlier version of this text was useful to me as an evaluation student. This revised version will ensure that today’s students have an invaluable resource that clearly communicates what is unique about our field, while also introducing the range of approaches and methods that evaluators may use.” —Melissa Haynes, University of Minnesota “The material in the eighth edition is effectively sequenced, and the technical orientation of the chapters makes the book an indispensable partner even for seasoned scholars and practitioners in the art of program evaluation.” —Kalu Kalu, Auburn University at Montgomery “This book offers a comprehensive view of evaluation and serves as a valuable guide in developing an evaluation plan.” —Sarmithsa Majumdar, Texas Southern University “The authors do a phenomenal job of unpacking complex terms and ideas making this reading accessible to learners.” —Jessica Wendorf Muhamad, Florida State University “This is another exceptional work by the authors. This book not only helps novice evaluators, it also provides tools for expert evaluators. This new edition brings new cases and exhibits that connect the theory to practice and contextualizes the content for students.” —Osman Özturgut, California State University Channel Islands “The eighth edition covers the essentials of evaluation extremely well, serves as a guide for development of specific approaches of evaluation, and enhances the critical thinking of students.” —David Pugh, Edinboro University “I have used previous editions of this text either as a student or professor for 20 years.
