 I got an Old edition of some other book ( rubalcava74 )
I received an old edition of some other book, by some other author. I will say that the vendor did refund my money and did allow me to keep the wrong book. But it has been an inconvenience.

 A good introduction to the field
If you're new to the field then Program Evaluation provides a framework which makes sense of the various approaches. The authors have an easy style, sparing the reader from unnecessary jargon where they can. The introductory chapters provide a brief philosophical and ideological background to alternative approaches to evaluation. I came across this text during an introductory course in Instructional Design so it helped to place evaluation with what I had already covered on learning theory.

Easy Read
This book was easy to read and gave excellent examples and case studies. it was short and to the point and didn't drag on an idea. It was also informative in that it gave you when it was the author's bias or actual studied facts.
