Résumé

The present research shows how the information provided to students about the evaluation process influences their academic performance. We ran an experiment with 3 intrasubject conditions in which different information was available by 377 students. Results show that providing information to students implies that they make a greater effort in the active seminars. Finally, we found interesting results regarding the students preferences about the seminars final grading.
