The National Examination of Students Performance (Enade/NESP) and the on-site evaluations of the Ministry of Education allows for the production of quality indicators. Based on the assessment mechanisms made available by the appraisal organizations, we question: what assessment grade the students in Accounting Sciences from the University of Brasília (UnB) would give to their course? The objective is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the course, allowing an inside look from the course's freshmen students and senior undergraduates, also working as a self-reflection and understanding of the reality in search of refinement and improvement of education quality. An adaptation of the questionnaire used for the evaluation of graduation courses by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Teixeira (Inep) (Recognition of Undergraduate Courses and Bachelor Degree) was produced and thus applied to students of the Accounting Sciences course of UNB who made the Enade test in 2009. We conclude that while the qualifications of the coordinator and faculty are key strengths of the course, the specialized laboratory, the extra-care program, the supervised training and subscriptions to periodicals are the main hindrances of the course. From the range of possible scores - between 1 and 5 -, the students general assessment grade of the Accounting Sciences Course was equal to 3, meaning sufficient; it should be mentioned that freshmen attributed higher scores than senior undergraduates.
