Summary

If you are like most of the students taking a course on program evaluation, you are not planning to be seeking a position as a program evaluator. You might even doubt that you will ever help to plan or conduct an evaluation. In fact, you might be reading this book only because it is a required text in a course you had to take, but did not want to. You probably are looking forward to a career in an agency that prioritizes service delivery and that views program evaluation as one of its lowest priorities. Well, you are likely to be surprised. Even in service-oriented agencies that do not prioritize program evaluation, the need to evaluate often emerges.
