The content evaluations, according to the academics, are performed in order to verify the understanding of the contents covered in the disciplines and are also important for measuring the performance itself. As for the forms of evaluation, the written test is the most usual, but preferably, the works (projects and research reports) present greater favoritism. In relation to the correction of the evidence, teachers correct the evaluations, return them, and are available for clarifications that may arise before this form of evaluation.
