Abstract
Evaluation processes in higher education have been addressed by both educators and computer scientists. While the first group is occupied mainly with the learning side of the problem the latter one is concentrating on approaches that can extract the most useful information from previously collected data applying statistical methods. Results obtained from evaluation of students knowledge can also be analyzed with non-probabilistic methods. They appear to be very helpful for locating those places where improvements have to be made.
