B. When random assignment is not problematic.
C. When there is uncertainty about the effect of an intervention.
What are the four levels (in order) of the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation?

Scientific method, quantitative methods, and hypothesis
Ralph Tyler
1930s- Educational evaluation-established education, object, then determine whether those objectives had been met
Donald Campbell
The use of experimental and quasi-experimental designs and their role in controlling for extraneous variables in determining causal relationships
Gary Henry & Melvin Mark
Use of causal modelling for evaluation with attention to ethical issues.
Emergent Realist Evaluation
philosophy of neorealism in that a reality exists independent of the observer & regularities in the pattern of events can be explained by generative mechanisms
