Method: The sample included 43 students in continuous assessment, from both sexes. After knowing the results were asked to indicate the implications of this exercise due to the approach or not, the actual rank. Results: The content analysis revealed the existence of two categories - Causality (Intrinsic / Extrinsic) and Influence (No consequences / Generics / Specifics) - regardless of the approach to real rank. Conclusion: The reflection that students can make about their learning process and the difficulties in developing their tasks is of great relevant to achieve an effective success. This was evident in the analysis that our students have made on the completion of the assessment work, as well as the consequences for their future study. This process of reflection and awareness in the teaching learning process is particularly relevant in online education where the role of metacognitive monitoring and control system gains a prominent role. So, allow students to reflect on these issues is to get them to become more effective learners.
