Abstract

In this article we are presenting the results of a study whose main objective was to know about the perspectives of university students regarding evaluation in higher education, particularly with regards to the methods used and to feedback. The data was collected thanks to a consultation through a questionnaire given to third year students from different fields attending the University of Minho. A total of 254 students participated. The data reveals that students tend to value feedback, and consider it to be constructive criticism; although they admit that its efficacy and usefulness depend on the understanding of the tasks, as well as on the relationship they have with the professor.
