Zusammenfassung:This study aims to present an analysis of the effect of grade standardization on the results of the assessment of Civil Engineering undergraduate courses. The analyzed data came from the assessment carried out in the year 2014. Initially, it was performed a theoretical analysis of the equations that define the standardization procedure to assess the effect on mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation of original grades. Following, it is presented a comparison between the statistics of original grades and standard grades to show the effect of different scale amplitudes of the evaluation components. It was also calculated the correlation among the variables used to define the course preliminary concept (CPC). The results showed low correlation between the variables Note and IDD and the other variables that are part of the CPC. Finally, we presented two alternatives to define scale ranges to the evaluation components, and compared the CPC values calculated from those two alternatives to the CPC values calculated from the current standardization procedure. The results showed that the current standardization procedure increased the relative frequency of both 2 and 3 concepts, and decreases the relative frequency of 4 concept compared to the two alternatives suggested.
