    The 最新糖心Vlog'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 Related Requirements
    Assessment
    Assessment is a core academic activity and an essential component of the learning process. Its main purposes are to encourage student learning, to make judgements about student achievements, 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=viewLinks to an external site.
    This policy sets out the principles which underpin the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's approach to assessment.

    Formative Assessment
    The formative assessment activities in each semester include questions and activities in classes, pre-clinical activities in clinic and/or sim clinic, discussion board, on-line activities and quizzes. These are designed to help you learn and apply key concepts, to give you feedback on your progress, and to provide experience in the question formats used. You should use each source of formative feedback to monitor your own performance and implement strategies to address any issues.

    Summative Assessment
    The summative assessment consists of written and presentation components. The written component comprises summative online tests, workbook and case study, written reports and a written examination at the end of semester 2. The presentation component comprises of two small group presentations, delivered either face to face or in video format.

    Hurdle assessments
    Hurdle 1: Panoramic radiography
    Hurdle 2: Final examination
    See MyUni for more details

    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).

    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.

    Refer to section ‘End of Year results’ for information regarding final grades which are included in your Academic transcript.

    Capture.PNG
    End of Year Results
    Final grades for performance in this course 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 3 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 IIIOH would equate to a university grade of high distinction or a distinction. An unsatisfactory result would equate to a fail grade in DHS IIIOH.

    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/Links to an external site.

    Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide – see: https://access.adelaide.edu.au/sa/login.aspLinks to an external site.
    Assessment Detail
    Early childhood caries assignment
    You will be required to complete e-learning modules, readings and participate in small group discovery workshops, undertake research and analyse the information you have gathered. You will need to be prepared to discuss the risk and protective factors for ECC, and give an overview of your role in providing anticipatory guidance to parents of young children, demonstrating your understanding and application of the information in response to questions in the modules.

    Geriatric dentistry assignment
    It is well documented the 最新糖心Vlogn population is living longer resulting in an increased need for aged care services. Demand for health services, including dental services, has increased resulting in private and government sector initiatives to meet the increased demand. The recent Royal Commission into Aged Care will have far-reaching implications on the delivery of services, including dental services, in the aged care setting. You will be required to discuss aged care in 最新糖心Vlog, ageing and related risk factors and provide an overview of the role of oral health practitioners, including your role as an oral health therapist, in the provision of oral health services in the context of the residential aged care setting. Details will be provided in class and on MyUni.

    Population Health    
    Your assessment will be a presentation as outlined in the PH introduction. You will be required to complete e-learning modules, readings and undertake research and analyse the information you have gathered. More details will be provided in class and on MyUni.

    Orthodontics

    You are required to complete self-directed study on the topic of orthodontics in addition to your clinical placements. It will require you to undertake research, analyse the information you have gathered, complete a workbook for discussion and case studies for submission. You will be given more information about the workbook questions for discussion during your clinical rotations and the case study information will be available on MyUni

    Special Needs Dentistry
    You are required to participate in a workshop in the on-campus week and working in a small group, research and present a short case summary to the class for a patient with special needs. More details will be provided in class and on MyUni.

    Panoramic radiography

    You are required to complete an on-line test of understanding relating to theoretical aspects of panoramic radiography to a satisfactory standard – this is a licensing requirement. You will be given more information on MyUni.

    'Debates'
    You are required to research and report on an allocated topical and/or controversial issue. The goal of this experience is for you to learn to construct a coherent argument by framing an issue, making claims about the issue, and supporting claims with evidence. You will be given more information in class and on MyUni.

    Final written assessment
    You are required to successfully complete a written/online assessment during Semester 2B. The format consists of a number of clinically applied questions. Questions may be based on dental scenarios, radiographs or clinical photographs and have a strong clinical emphasis.
    Submission
    All written work must be submitted through Turnitin, an plagiarism detection tool.
    Further information on submission process and requirements will be available through MyUni.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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.

    Each year we ask students to complete an assessment of theirlearning and teaching experience. Teaching staff reflect on the SELT, the outcomes achieved and processes implemented to identify necessary hanges for future years. These are important tools in the Dental School’s aim for excellence in teaching and learning.

    The following changes have been made as a result of these processes:
    •    Increased opportunities for class meetings, small group discovery and on-line learning
    •    Content, delivery and assessment tasks for PH revised
    •    Debates on topical and/or controversial issues
    •    Revisions to final examinations – changed from OSCA to written exam with clinical application, held in sim clinic with images enlarged on screens

  • 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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

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