Evaluation Procedure Academic year 2015-2016

General Considerations:

1. This activity is compulsory for all the students enrolled in the academic year 2015-2016.
2. The working language is English.
3. A rubric for evaluation is approved by the Academic Committee of the PhD programme (CA-Doc_TIC). This rubric will be used for all students. Nevertheless, evaluation committees will take into consideration the actual dedication of the students: Full- time students, Part-time students, etc. This rubric is in Annex 1.
4. This rubric will be completed by the Evaluation Committee, and by the advisor(s) of the thesis. In case of more than one advisor, all advisors must agree on a single rubric.
5. The Evaluation Committee will propose a Score to the Academic Committee of the PhD Program. CA-Doc_TIC will be in charge of delivering the final score.
6. There will be four  Evaluation Committees:
