Teachers must have in mind that while assessing it is very important to have a good criteria to evaluate the progress of students and provide them feedback to identify their strengths and weaknesses. According to TecMilenio investigations (2012), assessment is the least developed, both in theory and practice, but interest in it has increased; consequently, new ideas have emerged that seek to improve the practices of education and the quality of education. Evaluation is one of the most complex and conflicting processes because it engages all of students’ skills, development and involves contextual conditions.
