    + for any quality means that you think the candidate is lacking and that you can support your decision with an example.
    - fro any quality means that you think the candidate is lacking and that you can support your decision with an example:
    0 means that you have no basis for making a decision.
    0 will not count against anyone, but a (-) will count against the student.
