MFS 2021 evaluator

The path evaluator is a tool intended to facilitate the process of finding and documenting the most practically manageable and pedagogically most interesting paths from the perspective of each home institution, in order to subsequently build a path system (e. g. with the "game" approach) using only those paths.
