Résumé

Last year the authors have developed a Pre-Core Mathematics on-line course for first year students at the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Salamanca (CASC ´ON et al. (2017a, 2007b)). In the present study, our goal is to evaluate this material and detect how we can improve it in the immediate future. Specifically, we present the results of a detailed study to assess its adaptation to our students, its quality and its weaknesses. It is our purpose to correct any deficiency and to achieve a really useful course for them, which is our primary aim. We have conducted a survey about the material among some of our colleagues at Secondary and High Schools, and another one, slightly different, among the first year students at the Faculty of Economic and Business (University of Salamanca). Their answers have been quite positive for us in both cases and they have also made us very valuable suggestions to improve the course. In addition, we present a consistency analysis that reveals that students who have used our material obtain higher grades.
