Students’ view about university assessment (Il punto di vista degli studenti sulla valutazione universitaria)

The student’s perspectives have not always been fully enhanced in the evaluation of
university teaching processes, despite the fact that international literature has shown that,
if properly listened to, students are able to suggest important indications for the
improvement of teaching programs. The following research involved third-year university
students from different degree courses, both in humanities and scientific fields. Using semi
structured interviews, the researcher investigated the students’ perception on the quality of
academic evaluation and acquired their point of view on the strengths and criticalities of
the evaluation system. The results of this research will be discussed with the relevant degree
courses coordinators to promote and increase the involvement of university students in the
evaluation of the level of knowledge and skills they have acquired.
