The aim of this paper is to present an experiment of mixed evaluation (summative/formative) of questions formulated by students in a distance-education environment carried out in the Total Quality Management course in the B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering offered by Mexican public universities. Questions generated by students were evaluated using a specially-designed quantitative tool: Matrix Observation of four criteria with binary scoring. The experiment showed: (1) how is it possible to enrich the evaluation process, and formalize students' skills hardly recognizable with traditional forms of assessment; and (2) how the teacher-student interaction can be increased significantly by the technique mixed evaluation of questions in reverse, i.e. by the students.
