Abstract: Although assessment at first glance seems like a simple process in which the teacher teaches, the student learns, and then the teacher checks this students' learned knowledge and gives the learned knowledge a certain number, in modern education all stakeholders involved are aware of the insight that not everything can be expressed in numbers. The subject of this paper's research is the system of automatic assessment and its role in the learning process. The aim of the research conducted in the summer semester of the academic year 2020/2021 among 49 students of the undergraduate study of computing was to examine how students at the Algebra University College database-related courses assess the role of the AcpSQL assessment system in their learning process. The research result showed that students consider all possibilities and features of the AcpSQL assessment system as highly important. However, they would not generally replace manual exam correction by teachers with the automatic exam correction system, but only partially. Although students believe that the system can contribute to the assessment and self-assessment of their knowledge, they estimate that the system can only partially replace student-teacher interaction as the most important relationship in the learning process.
