The supervisor's evaluation of degree project for a combined Degree of Master and  Master of Science in Engineering

The degree project is assessed in the areas of Process, Engineering and scientific content, and Presentation. Start from the student's argumentation and grading criteria in the Appendix, and indicate for each intended learning outcome if the student has met the criteria for Pass or not. Highlight in particular the differences in relation to the student's self-evaluation. A degree project that the supervisor assesses as not fulfilling all intermediate goals is to be returned to the student for completion, unless the student and supervisor agree that the examiner's assessment of the goal is required.
