Abstract
In order to identify academic conflicts at universities, 110 students and 26 faculty members of Javeriana University were interviewed as part of a case study using an ethnographic methodology. The findings reveal conflicts arising from the disruption of the evaluations regarding: 1. Teaching goals; 2. Teaching methodology; 3. Topics studied; 4. Instruments used. Certain tensions derive from the time students spend on solving tests and the time teaching staff uses to correct and give feedback. The results of the evaluation and the meaning given to grades also generate discrepancies.
