This article presents a synthesis of some of the results obtained in research on student perceptions of the frequency of academic assessment carried out with students at various state and private universities in Romania. The main aim of this research was to analyse the academic assessment process in regard to various components that are assessed, assessment methods, student perceptions of assessment objectivity and the quality of the teaching. This article reports only on students’ opinions obtained from two questionnaire items on the frequency of assessment activities and the way in which assessments should be conducted (more often, with the same frequency, less frequently). The students’ replies show that assessment frequency correlates to a large extent with academic performance.References
