Evaluating quality of learning in the university AbstractThe aims of the study were to understand the criteria and decisions of university teachers in assessing what students have learnt, and to analyse how these factors affect the quality of learning. A group of teachers at the University of Girona provided us with the assessment demands they formulated in examinations and with students' written replies to these demands. The teachers taking part were also interviewed on their criteria and intentions when assessing students. The study's three main conclusions are that there is a relationship between the type of question and the demand formulated, that evaluation criteria differ widely, and that assessment of the quality of learning is complex.
