Description

Data collection problems seldom surface as a prominent issue in evaluation studies, yet their impact on final evaluation results is often profound. In this collection of papers, the contributors focus on three major issues: data sensitivity; large-scale field studies; and quality of records information. Full analyses of hidden data limitations as well as practical suggestions for dealing with these limitations make Collecting Evaluation Data essential reading for researchers and evaluators. - from Amzon
