The evaluation is an activity of pedagogical practice, and considered one of the greatest challenges to improve education. Objectives: The main objective of this work is to evaluate university teaching according to the students´ view and, especially, to observe this evaluation reliability and to identity characteristics; personal and technical behavior of a good teacher . Casuistics and Method: A total of 43 students from the second grade of UNORP Psychology course in the year of 2005, and 25 professors of this course participated in the study. The choice for the group and professor to answer the questionnaire was made by draw. Descriptive method and a mixed model of quantitative and qualitative evaluation were used. The questionnaires were based on GRIDS Program, adapted to the setting where the investigation was performed. The questionnaires were self-applied for the students in the classroom without the presence of the researcher. The professors received them, answering and sending them freely later. Results: All the questions that have comprised the used instrument were considered relevant. The selfevaluation was coherent with the evaluation performed by the students. The teacher's evaluation by the students demonstrated to be well-defined and reliable. Conclusions: The characteristics of a good professor could be identified based on the questions such as the ability to transmit the objectives xi of the subject taught, their ability to organize the classes, to point out the relevance of the contents, constant updating, respectful and nice relationship, stimulus to questioning and inference formulation, to be on time and be diligent, coherence in learning evaluation and flexibility and opening to dialogue, competence, general culture, humility and availability to deal with the students, employees and friends. At last, this tool discusses the opinion of the professors and the students .about the students´ ability in evaluating adequately the professors. While 90% of the students have believed in their correct evaluation, only 69% of the professors have had similar opinion. The professor´ s selfevaluation was compared with the students´, and the results were considered very similar, suggesting a high index of congruence in the perception of both. Further studies with a greater number of professors could be performed to corroborate this research data.
