Introduction: One of the objectives of the Bologna process is to improve the quality of teaching and this has meant a change in the orientation of teaching, with a greater workload for both teacher and student by requiring greater autonomy through non-presential work. It seems necessary to contemplate information that facilitates students, directly or through the collection and subsequent transformation of data on indicators, providing a tool for the improvement of the organization's activities in the subjects taught to the faculty. Subjects and methods: Through a cross-sectional and descriptive observational design, a sample of 116 Physiotherapy students at the University of Vigo (academic year 2007-2008). The aim of this paper was the construction of an indicator of the effort required for each subject, which is pragmatic and reliable to designate subjects where the relationship between workload and assigned credits are meant with respect to the other subject. Results: Only the 18.51% of the subjects in the degree of Physical Therapy are planned according to the number of ECTS credits allocated in the educational planning. Conclusions: The indicator that is presented, based on the waste of a regression model individual for each student, shown independently since not taking into account some credible answers, so it will help teachers to better teaching planning.
