It presents a theoretical approach to evaluation, a discussion on national and international parameters for evaluation and accreditation of quality, an analysis of official documents and a case study involving Administration, Nursing, Engineering and Pedagogy undergraduate courses, examining institutional documents, results of evaluations and interviews.
