Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

• Presentation should contain clear situation of your thesis in the state-ofthe-art
• Objectives of your thesis (at least one separate slide)
• Point of attention: structure of your talk, accessibility
2. The quality of the bibliography: the reading, the relevance, the completeness, but also the understanding of the material, the initiative taken by the student to explore the literature. Special attention is paid to the correct use of resources, in particular on-line encyclopedia and artificial intelligence. Improper use is considered as fraud.
