Remarks of coordinator:
Final grade
The final grade is based on the grades proposed by the supervisor, the remarks of the coordinator and the number of deadlines the student has missed.
When not meeting the regular (first) deadline, the highest grade that can be obtained is reducedfrom 10 to 7.5. When not meeting a second deadline the highest grade that can be obtained is further reducedfrom 7.5 to 6.5.
The task of the coordinator is to ensure that there is uniformity in grading of all research papers by different supervisors. As a result, the final grade can be lower or higher than that proposed by the supervisor.
