* The grading system in spanish doctoral thesis has suffered random changes in name along recent years while its meaning has remained constant. "Cum laude" has been sometimes awarded as "unanimous" and sometimes not, depending on the year, while the implied grade has remained absolutely equal. Confusing? ...yes, a lot.
