Abstract
In this paper we propose a method for the evaluation of university academic performance from a multi-criteria decision making perspective, and with partial information on the preference of the criteria. In our model, these criteria are the partial evaluations contemplated by a given subject, while the solutions or alternatives to the problem are the students. From our experience as teachers, we consider that the task of defining specific weights to the partial evaluations is a complex task and conditioned to the teacher’s judgment, including subjective assessments. Making it more flexible, by means of an order of importance relationship between the evaluations, not only simplifies this task, but also makes it easier for students to understand, and at the same time contributes to reaching a consensus (e.g., in the case of a subject taught by several teachers). The applicability of the proposal is illustrated through a case study in the subject Programming Methodology of the Computer Engineering course at the University of Granada.
