      The evaluation concerns the written report and the oral presentation by groups of students (20 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of discussion). This last presentation is organised in a presence of a jury composed by all academic and scientific members involved in the supervision of the project works.<br />A general individual mark is attributed taking into account the oral presentation but also the degree of participation of students during the course of the project: presence when the various laboratory tests were performed, involvement, etc.

      If a student failed to get the required credits, it can be asked, either individually or collectively for the entire group, to re-write the report. An evaluation will then be organised by supervisors as for the first session. This last evaluation will be organised necessarily during the course of the session.
