DENT 3005AHO - Dental Science and Practice III Part 1

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2016

Dental Science and Practice 3 provides students with the opportunity to develop as dental professionals who, upon successful completion of the course, will be able to manage patients with a wide range of common dental problems. The focus of the course is to emphasise an holistic, preventively-based approach to oral health care, with a minimally invasive approach if restorative treatment is required. Students will be expected to apply and integrate knowledge and understanding of relevant sciences in managing their patients and demonstrate high levels of professionalism, including an ability to effectively self-assess and a desire to continue to learn and grow as a member of the dental profession.

    Small Group Discovery Experience
    Student learning from the SGDE activities involves the following processes as part of participating in the ILAs:
    • learning the systematic scientific approach to patient investigation, ie, consistent with students current and future professional practice;
    • identifying, critiquing and referencing relevant evidence derived  from the literature and interactions with School researchers;
    • researching answers to questions they identify using this evidence  related to clinical, population health, behavioural and biodental
    sciences. As a result of their research, students develop,  structure and apply their knowledge so they can understand their
    patient’s situation and recommend appropriate care.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Feedback (Formative Assessment)
    A range of formative assessment activities will be provided during each semester. These have been designed to help you learn key concepts in DSP III as well as give you feedback on your progress and to gain experience in the question formats used in DSP III, These activities will be in the form of questions in class meetings, learning laboratories, tutorials and online questions accessible via MyUni.

    Summative Assessment
    This list provides a summary of the summative assessment tasks for 2016:

    1: PCPC program attendance and participation and completion of PCPC workbook

    3: Other non-graded assessment tasks: 1 x Test of Understanding (Periodontics); Radiography log book (submit to Lucy Hatch during last week of Semester);2 x Tests of Understanding (Orthodontics, Fixed Prosthodontics); attendance & participation in ILA sessions; attendance & participationBiology of Occlusion learning labs; attendance & participation in Volunteer patient tutorials participation

    4. Written examinations
    End of PCPC program - 1 x 1.5 hour written examination

    End of Semester 1 - 2 x 2 hour written examinations

    End of Semester 2 - 2 x 2.5 hour written examinations (Whole Year)

    1 x 2 hour Progressive Integrated Assessment (PIA)


    Submission
    Details on submission processes/requirements will be provided in the documentation for any work that is to be submitted. These will be posted on MyUni.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
