Colloquium
Student presentations will be graded on the system: Pass with distinction, Pass, Pass with reservation, or Fail. All ISM faculty members will grade your presentation and submit one or two remarks. The Director will collate all the information, adjudicate the grade and convey the faculty comments to the students. Students whose presentations do not pass will not receive credit for the semester of colloquium in which they presented; therefore they will not receive the ISM Certificate.
