Abstract
The assessment of learning in the classroom requires relevant evidence (performance tests as opposed to answer selection tests) in order to establish adequate feedback processes. Thus, it is considered that performance tests such as oral, essay or case exams would offer an adequate guideline to meaningfully address the study materials. In this context, a quantitative study was conducted to characterize the perceptions and preferences regarding the tests that teachers apply. The sample consisted of university students (n = 240) from a private university in Lima. A questionnaire was applied through Google Forms to students who were doing their studies online (exceptionally) due to COVID-19. It was found that students were evaluated, mostly, with multiple choice tests with rote questions and reasoning questions. In addition, it was found that students recognize that essay exams were the most important for their training; but they preferred multiple choice exam.
