Does anyone have experience using Casting nets and testing specimens as an
undergraduate text? I am thinking of using it as the main text for a new
course (Evaluation Research and Social Change) I will be offering for the
first time in the Fall. For technical details I would suplement with
original articles. Any comments and particularly any reports of experience
would be valuable.

I have never used the entire text for a course but in a social psychology
course I have used Chapters 10 (w/ a class demonstration of the Rubber-Band
exercise), 11 and 12. I supplemented these chapters with several pieces by
Marken and Powers from the CSGNET. I got the sense that the students
understood PCT from these materials.
