This article presents a theoretical analysis of the relationship between assessment and learning in higher education. Based on the perspective provided by a set of research projects on assessment in higher education, we analyze the influence that assessment practices exert on the students' approach to learning. Also, we explore the concept of thinking styles, based on the writings by Sternberg (1997). Finally, we dedicate some thoughts to the importance of teachers' assessment choices at the undergraduate level.

Keywords : Higher Education; Learning Evaluation.
