Each portfolio iss corrected by a professor, and after the necessary considerations on each topic, a grade is awarded. This study aimed at understanding the perception of students regarding the correction of the portfolios by the teaching staff. It consisted of a descriptive study with qualitative data analysis. Thirty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted after the portfolios were returned. Data were consolidated with the use of the content analysis proposed by Bardin. The students considered that the assessment through the portfolio needs to be improved with a clear definition of the correction criteria. The heterogeneity and subjectivity of the professor in such correction is highlighted in the student perception.
