- The report fully and accurately documents the entire work done: what, how, why, why not, in both qualitative and quantitative ways;
- The paper (i.e. an excellent report) can be directly (without extra work and improvements) published in the top journals of the field, since it is important and contains ground-braking information that needs urgent dissemination;
- The flow of presentation is smooth and accessible;
- The paper has an excellent tutorial value;
- The lines of argumentation must be excellent in all ways and instructive for both experts and non-experts in the field;
- The paper features eye-opening, practical, fundamental and visionary conclusions;
- All presented analysis (via e.g. numerical simulations, measurements, literature data) must be rigorously validated;
- There are critical discussions towards both the SOTA and own results, with future qualitative and quantitative extrapolations;
- The limitations of the work should be discussed from the perspective of both now and the future and with respect to alternatives;
- The supervisor(s) has/have made only negligible corrections.

- The report fully and accurately documents the work done: what, how, why, why not, in both qualitative and quantitative ways;
- The report can lead to a publication in a top SOTA journal or conference after some minor revisions, since it is strong, novel and very interesting;
- The report has a very good tutorial value;
- Deep and far reaching conclusions;
- All presented analysis (via e.g. numerical simulations, measurements, literature data) must be fully validated;
- While statements must be supported by arguments, the key statements must be supported by novel arguments;
- All new results must be scrutinized reliable and their accuracy margins must be reported;
- The paper includes a comparison with SOTA, with motivated choices for the competed aspects/performance metrics;
- The reports should contain sufficient information and argumentation to motivate experts to replicate the key results of the project;
- The supervisor(s) has/have made only cosmetic corrections;
- The paper discusses the deficiencies of the own work;

- The report fully and accurately documents the work done: what, how, why, why not;
- The report can lead to a proficient publication in a journal or conference after some revisions, since it is objective, proficient and fully correct;
- The report has a good tutorial value;
- All statements must be supported by arguments;
- All key results must be validated (cross-checked as appropriate), analyzed and discussed;
- All results must be fully reliable and the accuracy margins must be discussed;
- Experts will be able to reproduce the same results based on the information given;
- The report should contain sufficient information, so that a follow-up student can continue with the work;
- The drawbacks, disadvantages, and deficiencies of the work must be reported, too;
- Comparison vs. SOTA;
- Deep discussions on alternatives, SOTA, and trends in the field;
- The conclusions should honestly communicate the main lessons learnt;
- The report includes an optimal amount of complexity from the work for the non-expert evaluators to be able to appreciate the challenges;
- The supervisor(s) has/have made only small correction.
