Abstract (2. Language):
This article examines new tutoring evaluation methods to be adopted in the course, Machine Theory, in the
Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).
These new methods have been developed in order to facilitate teaching staff work and include students in the
evaluation process. Machine Theory is a required course with a large number of students. These students are
divided into groups of three, and required to carry out a supervised work constituting 20% of their final mark.
These new evaluation methods were proposed in response to the significant increase of students in spring
semester of 2010-2011, and were pilot tested during fall semester of academic year 2011-2012, in the previous
Industrial Engineering degree program. Pilot test results were highly satisfactory for students and teachers,
alike, and met proposed educational objectives. For this reason, the new evaluation methodology was adopted
in spring semester of 2011-2012, in the current bachelor’s degree program in Industrial Technology (Grau en
Enginyeria en Tecnologies Industrials, GETI), where it has also achieved highly satisfactory results.
