An online learning module is used to support students knowledge development in this topic area. Recordings of past class meeting are also available for students to review certain concepts. Readings are provided online and students are offered links to extenal online content relevant to the discipline and genre.

Class meetings/Case based activity
2 -3 hours of class meetings, case base activities and/or resource sessions per week.

These sessions will be used for introducing and exploring topics, but may also be used for interactive learning, student presentations, discussions and assessments. The times of the sessions and room allocations will vary depending on the structure of the session. Students will be advised of these as necessary throughout the course of the year.

Research Skill Development Framework
The RSD framework has been instrumental in helping to align the development of your academic skills with your clinical competencies to promote students to become evidence based, holistic practitioners. Dental & Health Science IIOH will again be using the RSD framework to inform curriculum design, plan student activities, provide a vehicle for evaluation and drive student assessment. We are looking for students to have skills developed at level 3 by the completion of this course.

One of the key advantages of using the RSD framework is that it challenges you to continue todevelop your own ‘curiosity’ as a health practitioner. It maps out the skills required (or the ‘6 sides of clinical problem solving’ if you like) to be able to provide the level of patient care that the public demands in 最新糖心Vlog today. Whether you are find yourself in health care administration, management, providing clinical services or researching and analytics, the RSD paves the way for you to identify certain skills required for you to reach your personal goals. If you weren’t familiar with it enough in first year, you will have a good opportunity to review it again in BOH 2.

On average students should expect 2-3 hours per week of face to face contact time and approximately 2-3 hours per week in preparation and assessment.

Assessment is a core academic activity and an essential component of the learning process. Its main purposes are to encourage student learning, to support staff in making judgements about student learning / performance, and to monitor the effectiveness of the learning environment.

The 最新糖心Vlog has a policy governing Assessment for Coursework Programs: /policies/700/?dsn=policy.document;field=data;id=1044;m=view. This policy sets out the principles which underpin the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's approach to assessment.


Assessment Summary & Table

In the BOH Program, criterion-based assessment is used with reporting of results wherever possible using a graded system
rather than a 0-100 marking scheme. A non-graded scheme (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) may also be used to report
performance within some components of the course.

During the year the school uses the following grades to indicate categories of performance for written examinations, clinics and
simulation clinic sessions: E, G, S, B and U (see Table 1).


Table 1

Grade	Category of Performance	Score: for pass  standard = 55%
E	Excellent	>80%
G	Good	70 - 79%
S	Satisfactory	60 - 69%
B	Borderline	50 - 59%
U	Unsatisfactory	<50%

It is important to understand that if your performance is deemed borderline, you have not obtained a satisfactory grade i.e., your
performance demonstrates a range of concerns because you are not yet meeting the learning outcomes and performance
standards at that stage.


End of Year Results

Final grades for performance in BOH 2 are awarded in accordance with the 最新糖心Vlog Grade Scheme 8 (see Table 3). At the end of Semester 2, the grades E, G, S and U are used to indicate categories of performance in all Year 2 courses. The School Assessment Board converts the categories of performance into an overall grade for each course (HD, D, C, P, F) for reporting to the 最新糖心Vlog and for inclusion on your academic transcript. For example, an excellent level of achievement in DHS IIOH would equate to a university grade of high distinction or a distinction. An unsatisfactory result would equate to a fail grade in DHS IIOH.



最新糖心Vlog Grade Scheme 8

Grade	Grade reflects following criteria for allocation of grade:	Reported outcome
Fail no submission	No work submitted for assessments	FNS
Fail	A mark between 1-49	F
Pass	A mark between 50-64	P
Credit	A mark between 65-74	C
Distinction	A mark between 75-84	D
High Distinction	A mark between 85-100	HD
Non Graded Pass	Satisfactory performance	NGP
Result Pending	An interim result	RP
Continuing	Continuing	CN
No Formal Examination	No Formal Examination	NFE

Grade Descriptors are available on the 最新糖心Vlog website and provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level – see: /policies/700/. 

Final results for each course, including the SAOHE, will be made available through Access Adelaide – see:
.



Assessment Activities

You will be required to complete individual and group based assessments. Individual assessments are your own work and reflect the 最新糖心Vlog Policy on Academic Honesty. Please review this policy carefully. There will be no exceptions to how cases of plagiarism / collusion if detected are to be handled.

/learning/resources-for-educators/academic-integrity 

Individual assessment will include a range of assessments on three different topics with clinical application. Individual grades for group assignments may be moderated pending evidence of individual participation.

Each written assessment task has its own marking criteria. Please check these carefully as you complete each assignment piece. Written work is to be submitted electronically via Turnitin in MyUni (unless authorised otherwise).


Hurdle Assessments

As with most health related vocations that include a clinical scope, Oral Health Therapists must possess certain competencies before being permitted to practice. The curriculum in the Bachelor of Oral Health course is designed such that it will support the development of these competency standards for each of its students.

To identify whether a student has reached a certain level of competency within Dental & Health Science IIOH, all individual assessment pieces are hurdle assessments and have a requirement that students MUST pass in order to move forward onto the next stage of the course. These assessments mandate a minimum level of performance from each student as a condition of passing the course outright. Group assessments in the course are NOT hurdle assessments.

The Assessment for Coursework Policy sets out clear rules for the setting and undertaking of hurdle assessments. It is advisable that students familiarise themselves with these rules along with any hurdle assessments / examinations being used in each of the four BOH Year 2 courses. Where these are in use, teaching staff will provide specific reference and detail in the relevant assessment descriptors on MyUni. 

For more specific information related to assessment tasks, please click on the 'Assessment' tab below. Or, review your BOH Year 2 Yearbook and each associated MyUni site.

Should a student fail a hurdle assessment, there may be opportunity for students to be offered an 'Additional Assessment' if certain criteria are met. Decisions in relation to the offering of 'Additional' or 'Replacement Assessments' are made at the end of each academic year following both school and faculty academic review.

Assessment Task	Grade Type	Weighting	Course Learning Outcome(s)
Assessment 1 Essay - Dental Caries	Individual mark	30%	1
Assignment 2 Test of Understanding -Fluorides in Dentistry	Individual mark	20%	1, 2
Active Participation Engagement assessed throughout the Semester

Individual Assessment
Individual assessment across the full year of DHSIIOH are hurdle assessments and must be passed to a Performance Standard of 'Satisfactory' or above. An individual assessment that results in a 'Borderline' assessment may be conceded to a Pass at the end of the year based on other results. An individual assessment that results in a Performance Grade to that below a Borderline result, will be referred to Academic Board for review, where decisions will be made relating to Replacement / Additional Assessment (R/AA) eligibility.

Student Engagement and 'Active Participation'
Egagement and participation in group, case or problem based learning activities (including tutorials) are also an assessable requirement.

Feedback
You will receive feedback from a variety of sources. Onging feedback of your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to validate how you are progressing in DHSIIOH Part 1. It also provides staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.

The requirements are that you must sit for / attend / and perform to a satisfactory standard all specified assessment pieces.

You will be required to complete individual and group based assessments. Individual assessments are your own work and reflect the 最新糖心Vlog Policy on Academic Integrity 

Please review this policy carefully. There will be no exceptions to how cases of plagiarism if detected are to be handled.

All written assessment will be submitted electronically via Turnitin through the Learning Management System - MyUni (unless authorised otherwise by your coordinator).

Submission of online modules occurs automatically on completion of the module and associated quiz.

Feedback will provided electronically through the same porthole.

This course uses Grade Scheme 8 (shown below). To obtain a pass grade over all in Dental & Health Science IIOH you must obtain an average mark of 50% or more across all assessment.

* Please note, that some courses may set an assessment achievement 'standard' above that of the reported minimum pass mark under Grade Scheme 8. Where this occurs, there will be explicit reference in both the Course Outline and Year 2 BOH Yearbook.

Grade	Grade reflects following criteria for allocation of grade	Reported Outcome
Fail No Submission	No work submitted for assessment	FNS
Fail	A mark between 1 - 49	F
Pass	A mark between 50 - 64	P
Credit	A mark between 65 - 74	C
Distinction	A mark between 75 - 84	D
High Distinction	A mark between 85 - 100	HD
Non-Graded Pass	Satisfactory	NGP
Pass Non-Graded^	Satisfactory	PNG
Result Pending	An interim result	RP
Continuing	Continuing	CN
No Formal Examination	No Formal Exam	NFE

Note that the award of the NGP or PNG grade does not allow indication of higher levels of performance than a minimum passing grade.

The Pass Non Graded (PNG) grade is a temporary grade introduced as part of the 最新糖心Vlog’s efforts to support students during a period of significant disruption caused by COVID-19’.
