PEER REVIEW OF TMDK PAPERS

A peer review (opponent's evaluation) is only required for the "Classic TMDK paper." Artistic Projects will be reviewed by the section jury members before the start of the section session.

In the case of Classic TMDK papers, as per previous practice, the Supervisor is responsible for obtaining the peer reviews. Two peer reviews are required for each paper, at least one of which must be an internal reviewer (faculty member of PTE-MIK). The evaluation sheets will be copied into the dedicated Drive folder for each applicant. The deadline for completing and uploading the two peer reviews is 24 hours before the start of the section session.

The location and method for uploading and submitting the peer reviews are the same as for the papers: they must be uploaded digitally to the student's dedicated folder, to which the Supervisor also has access.
