Abstract
The surveying of student opinions on teaching activities was introduced as an evaluation tool in Italian Universities in 1999. The aim of the considerable legislative changes put into place by the Ministry of Universities and Scientific and Technological Research, and the procedural efforts carried out by the National Committee for the Evaluation of University Systems (CNVSU), were to set up a procedure for teaching evaluation, where student opinions were to become one of the key parameters used within universities for “decision-making” purposes.

At the start of the interview: “Do you think that gathering opinions from at-tending students is useful?”
At the end of the interview: “Does the gathering of opinions from attending students involve a considerable economic and organizational effort? Do you think that it is useful to use university resources for this activity?”

Kolmogorov-Smirnov test has shown that the two dependent variables distribution does not differ significantly from the normal distribution. Also the residual analysis was applied; it has highlighted no violation of regression model assumptions.
