# Methods of Assessment

## <mark style="background-color:blue;">Determination of Grading</mark>

The procedure for assigning grades (Honors, Pass, Fail) is outlined in the ISMMS grading policy, [here](https://ismms-md-program.gitbook.io/medical-student-handbook/policies-and-procedures/md-program-specific-policies-and-procedures/assessment-and-grading). &#x20;

Below is a list of clerkship assessments mapped to each clerkship objective. Students must demonstrate competency in all objectives by passing each of the associated assessments. Some objectives are pass/fail, and some objectives are tiered honors/pass/fail. For tiered objectives, students may demonstrate honors-level performance by meeting the criteria listed in the associated assessments. **To achieve a grade of Honors for the clerkship, students must demonstrate honors-level performance in 4 out of 7** of the tiered objectives.

Students who exhibit a concerning pattern of behavior as outlined in the Behavioral Grading Criteria may have their clerkship grade impacted, among other actions. Please see below for more details.
