In program evaluation, it is common to assess the collective impact and outcomes of a program on a particular group or groups of individuals. So, the correct answer to the first question is True.

Moving on to the second question, the statement "Program Evaluation is not a sound method of conducting research" is False. Program evaluation is, in fact, a sound method of conducting research. It involves systematic data collection, analysis, and interpretation to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of a program. Program evaluation can provide valuable evidence for decision-making and can help researchers understand the impact of a program on various outcomes.
