Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a case study for assessing the quality of university teachers' work based on the average exam marks achieved by their students. The pilot research described in the paper was conducted on several groups of students participating in a chosen university course, during one academic year (2012/2013). Both the course and the final exam were meticulously designed and unified in order to ensure comparable conditions for every group. The proposed method of assessment encompasses basic characteristics of all students for a given semester/academic year, characteristics of every single students group (based on an average study mark for a group-as-a-whole) and considers the influence of the exam mark obtained by a given student on his/her average study mark as well on an average study mark for the group the student belonged to. The research was based on general statistics and grade correspondence analysis. The results of the pilot are very promising therefore the authors continued their work in the following academic year. Although the study was carried out only for one course it seems plausible, that presented approach could also be applied for other university courses.
