In order to discover them, we applied a semi structured interview to the students of Mathematics – Informatics Faculty, Mathematics department, a contingent of 72 interviewed subjects. The interview contains 10 questions about the evaluation modalities of academic performance. Therefore we present and analyse 5 questions from our interview.
