Abstract

A model for the evaluation of students' knowledge using a multiple-choice type exercise was presented and used as an instrument for gathering data in order to make general assessment of students' strengths and weaknesses in organic chemistry after having taken the course. The results obtained allowed us to clarify and research more thoroughly those areas that need to be reinforced in order to improve the quality of the teaching/learning process.This data will be applied in the pre-planning stage in subsequent semesters of the same course.
