The main objective of this paper is to determine if periodically exams ‘students are primarily assessment or feedback? In this paper it is used feedback term referring on the trajectory of professor-student reports, in an effort to distinguish it clearly a summative assessment form.The small-scale study of four examiner’s reports aimed to identify the nature of them and whether the reports provided are primarily summative assessment or feedback.Keywords : Feedback, assessment, evaluation process, quality in education
