In recent years, students from the Science and Engineering campus of the University of Guadalajara have a substantial failure rate for one class in the Department of Physics; this lead to the inquiry of its possible causes. Observations in the classroom with categories based on various sources related to teacher performance took place. This paper presents the characteristics of students (social, work and hobbies, ideas about how they are evaluated institutionally, preferences and dislikes), and the views of teachers on the assessment system of learning and its impact on the evaluation the institution does on teachers. The work hypothesis was formulated according to the widespread belief among teachers that school performance is in direct function with the teaching style. The results however show otherwise. Conclusions suggest that the new generations of students (the net generation), require new education methods.

Keywords : Retention; Effective teaching; Net generation.
