Mark ranking
29-30 cum laude: The student has a DEEP knowledge of the discipline, with excellent communication skills and command of the scientific method
26-28: The student has a GOOD knowledge of the discipline and is able to clearly present the topics, using an appropriate medical/technical jargon
22-25: The student has a FAIR knowledge of the discipline, even though limited to the main topics, presenting them in a fairly clear fashion and with a a fair jargon
18-21: The student has a minimal knowledge of the discipline and is able to present the topics in a sufficiently clear fashion, although the jargon is not articulated.
