Abstract:
A recurrent problem in teaching is to evaluate what the students will retain from the contents discussed in class. For the students who completed two basic courses on statistics, we applied a questionnaire with a test, 3 months after the end of the course. The test was composed of 50 true-false questions. The results revealed that students could satisfactorily answer the questions directly related with definitions. However, there was no such performance when the questions required additional procedures related.
