In recent years, software development is generally done in the form of a team project. Correspondingly, educational institutions have adopted project-based software development exercises (called project-based learning (PBL) of software development in this paper). The PBL of software development can perform various processes in software development, which will be a great experience for students to play an active role in their profession in the future. However, an individual evaluation of students in such a team project is difficult and involves several problems. Therefore, to evaluate students fairly, this research proposes an evaluation method to measure the contributions of individuals in the implementation phase in the PBL of software development. Particularly, it is an evaluation method that applies the function point method, which is known as the size estimation method.
