Sumario:The present study aims to discuss different assessment practices developed in two Physics course groups of Engineering Programs in a community university placed in Rio Grande do Sul State from students’ perspective. Theoretical and methodological support is based on studies about assessment practices that focus on evaluating for learning and studies by rubrics. Data collection included feedbacks taken during the class and the application of an online questionnaire which was answered by 23 students from two Physics course groups. Online tests, virtual experiments, feedbacks using rubrics or other means, and Just-in-Time quizzes are the evaluative practices in which students recognize greater relevance for self-regulation of learning. Another relevant result is that the variety of strategies and explanation of evaluation criteria make the evaluation process more transparent. In general, it is detected that students accept new assessment strategies very well and feel comfortable to discuss and participate in such teaching experiments regarding assess ment.
