Welcome to the eResources for Program Evaluation: Methods and Case Studies, 10th Edition, by Linfield & Kniffley. Many of the documents in the site are specifically noted in the book such as the Table of Evaluation Models referred to in Chapter 2 and illustrations and examples for Information Systems noted in Chapter 7. Several other files provide additional information, such as the examples of Evaluation Reports. And the document with links to youtube videos of songs about Program Evaluation and Statistics is meant as the first element of some light-hearted additions. If you have questions, suggestions, or other comments, feel free to e-mail the first author, Ken Linfield: [email protected]
