Public discussion and examination
•	Has the degree project student filled in the opponent record in a clear and complete manner?
•	Has the degree project student critically examined and evaluated the respondent's report, identified strengths and any weaknesses, and proposed how the report can be further developed?
•	Is the criticism provided considered realistic and constructive?
•	Has the opposition led to an interesting and constructive discussion?

Each question is assessed on a scale of 1-3 and a weighted total determines the final grade. Content is weighted 3, process is weighted 1.5 and the public discussion and examination is weighted 0.5. Written presentation and oral presentation are weighted 1. The weighted value of the content can be adjusted by +1 or -1. All elements must be passed for the degree project to receive a passing grade . The point total for a passing grade on a degree project is 6-22. 18p gives an A, 15p gives a B, 12p gives a C, 9p gives a D and 6p gives an E.
