- The report should be structured in a logical manner.

- The report should fulfil the formal requirements as to report writing, i.e. its notes should be consistent and the bibliography exhaustive etc.

- The language of the report should be grammatically, idiomatically and terminologically correct.

At the oral defence, the student should be able to account for, explain, analyse and evaluate the problems outlined in the report. The student should master a grammatically, idiomatically and terminologically correct language. Furthermore, the student's English pronunciation should be correct.
