 A given project can be very strong regarding a given criteria and less developed in another. For instance, a given project could be strongly focusing on sustainability but not as interdisciplinary as other projects. None of these criteria are eliminatory (except the very first one) and this list aims at providing the project with a direction/goal, but it is not expected to excel in every criterion. Time management of students is also to consider as the workload on the side of classical courses is very high in MAKE projects. A given project can be very strong regarding a given criteria and less developed in another.
