    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    To successfully complete courses, students will need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study. In addition to the formal contact the time required for each course [eg, ILAs, class meetings, tutorials, practicals, clinics] students will need to allocate non-contact time. Non-contact time will be required for a range of activities which may include, but are not limited to, assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, preparing for clinic/simulated clinic sessions, revision, and writing, consultation with staff and informal discussions with other students.

    While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary from course to course, as a guide, a full-time student would expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hrs/wk on their studies during teaching periods to achieve a satisfactory level of performance.

    The workload for undergraduate/postgraduate programs is 24 units per year (full-time).

    Total workload (hrs/week) 48

    Contact hours (hrs/week) up to 28:
    Comprising ILAs, Class Meetings, Learning Laboratories, Simulated Clinic sessions, Clinic sessions, Clinical Communication Tutorials with Volunteer Patients, Tutorials, Radiography simulation sessions, Titanium training sessions

    Non-Contact hours (hrs/week) up to 20:
    Comprising Group and Individual Learning andPreparation for class meetings, learning laboratories, simulated clinic sessions, clinical communication tutorials with volunteer patients tutorials, clinics and assignments.

  • 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.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task and Weightings:

    Written Progressive Integrated Assessment
    Semester 1: Written Progressive Integrated Assessment (weighted 40% of the PIA Hurdle)
    Semester 2: Written Progressive Integrated Assessment (weighted 60% of the PIA Hurdle)

    Overall Pass standard for overall PIA is 60%
    Final overall reported grade for PIA is NGP.

    OSCE Assessments
    Semester 1: OSCE Assessments NGP
    Semester 2: OSCE Assessments NGP

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Attendance at all classes eg clinic, sim clinic, ILA sessions, workshops, VPP sessions and subrosters (ie, radiography) are compulsory.

    All students in the BDS program are required to notify the School of absences. Students are reminded that the BDS programme is a professional degree, requiring the highest standards of professional behavior. Notification of any absence is also good professional conduct. International students need to be compliant and attend classes as a requirement of the visa obligations and responsibilities under the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000.

    If you are unable to attend your scheduled session the following must be followed: Email the BDS Yr level coordinator and inform them of your absence ASAP
    Assessment Detail

    Progressive Integrated Assessment (PIA) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)  

    The PIA examination (at semester 1 and semester 2) will draw on key concepts and understanding of material covered during the year and from previous years.  The PIA will take the form of a written examination. The PIA will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate that they have a satisfactory knowledge and understanding of key concepts learned throughout the BDS course. The end of year results of the PIA will be a Non-graded Pass (NGP) or Fail.

    Students will be required to undertake multiple timed, practical, in-person assessments throughout the year, in the form of OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations) tasks. These tasks not only allow students to demonstrate appropriate knowledge and understanding of key concepts but also the ability to successfully apply that knowledge to practical procedures. Students need to achieve a satisfactory standard in each OSCE throughout the year. The overall result in the OSCEs will be a Non-graded Pass (NGP) or Fail.

    Students must obtain a satisfactory result in the PIA and OSCE assessments to pass the Second Annual Examination. If a student fails any aspects of the Second Annual Examination, then they will fail BDS II and be required to repeat second year (i.e., re-enrol in DSP 2).

    Note students must Pass DENT 2005AHO/BHO AND DENT 2000HO TO PASS YEAR 1 OVERALL

    Submission
    Unless otherwise indicated, coursework should be submitted electronically via MyUni. Any students experiencing technical
    difficulties should contact the course coordinators at the earliest opportunity. The deadline time will be strictly enforced according to the digital time displayed by the MyUni portal. Coursework submitted to any location other than those specified will not be accepted. This includes submissions to staff email addresses. Submission dates may be extended only under exceptional circumstances as per the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) policy.

  • 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.
