The overall vote, determined by totaling the scores foreseen by items "a - e" is rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
The honors can be attributed to the degree mark, with the unanimous opinion of the Commission, to the candidates who obtain a final score ≥ 113.
The use of any technical means such as slides, transparencies, presentations in PPT etc. (no more than 10 screens) should be considered as an aid to the candidate to ensure a better understanding of their presentation, and therefore should contain little or no discourse , but rather only graphs-figures-tables, etc.
