At each milestone, an evaluation will be made, holistically if several data points are involved, and according to a 5-level Likert scale: --/0: not acquired, with a lot of work ahead, -/1: very partially acquired, -+/2: in the process of being acquired, +/3: acquired to a very satisfactory level, ++/4: acquired with excellent mastery.  

In the end, each CC1 indicator will be evaluated holistically over the year, and the levels will be x5 to obtain a score of /20.
