In order to help consistently, effectively, and efficiently evaluate student applications, specific evaluation criteria should be used by project mentors.  SoC applications are to be scored on a scale of '''0 to 6''' where 0 is a ''poor candidate'' that meets no evaluation criteria and 6 would indicate a ''perfect candidate'' that fulfills all criteria.

In order to help consistently, effectively, and efficiently evaluate GSoC student applications, specific evaluation criteria should be used by project mentors.  GSoC applications are to be scored on a scale of '''0 to 6''' where 0 is a ''poor candidate'' that meets no evaluation criteria and 6 would indicate a ''perfect candidate'' that fulfills all criteria.
  
 
In order to score applications, each mentor needs to indicate the project(s) they would be willing to mentor by selecting the "I am willing to Mentor" button on the mentor dashboard.  For scoring an application, apply the below 6 evaluation criteria and evaluate a judgement scoring between 0.0 and 1.0 for each.  Round the cumulative score to the closest integer when ranking.

The Google mentor evaluation form allows for three positive and two negative evaluation levels (in addition to unevaluated/zero):  '''+4 +2 +1 -1 -2'''.  The sum of all your rank selections should equal more than 0 and less than 7.  To set a rank of 6, you use +4+2; for 3 you set +2+1; etc.  Additionally:
  
 
* Do not use negative scores except to correct or adjust your own evaluation.

Scores for each application will be '''averaged''' and ''weighted by mentor assignments'' after evaluations are complete and plugged into a spreadsheet for group review before the final ordering.
