Abstract
According with national trends in objective evaluation of undergraduate students’ knowledge, an auto-calibrated online evaluation system was developed. The aim of the research was to assess the first year students’ knowledge on physical chemistry topic at the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania by the use of the developed auto-calibrated online evaluation system. The multiple-choice questions and the evaluation methodologies are presented. The students performances in terms of number of correct answers and time needed to give a correct answer were collected and analyzed. The future plans of development are highlighted.
