Biography
McCormick, Robert; James, Mary
From reviews of the original publication:
'Curriculum Evaluation in Schools by Robert McCormick and Mary James is surely the best book on evaluation so far available'. British Journal of lnservice Education.
’The Authors display a deep knowledge, not only of the theoretical issues involved, but also of the fascinating variety of institutions that are trying to implement a more explicit evaluation programme. It is difficult to think, amongst the rapidly expanding literature in this area, of another volume which does this. It will, therefore, be essential reading for anyone working in their field in higher education, or administrative and advisory positions' B.E.R.A.
