    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
    A uniform system of clinical assessment is used in all years of both BDS and BOH programs.  It is based on self-assessment and it:
    •    gives you direct input into your clinical assessment and learning experiences
    •    encourages you to reflect on the learning process as a whole
    •    teaches you to reflect on and assess the quality of your clinical work using a standardised assessment procedure
    •    encourages you to learn by receiving regular feedback
    •    encourages you to accept responsibility for what you say and do in the clinic
    •    includes objective measures of clinical performance in each discipline
    •    helps develop life-long learning skills.

    Wherever possible, each session will have time allocated for you to:
    •    review with your tutor what you propose to do for each patient for the session
    •    debrief to self-assess and discuss the self-assessment with your tutor.

    You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.You will have further opportunity for reflection and sharing experiences with peers during regular debriefing sessions.

    You are required to keep and maintain detailed up-to-date information about your work in the clinic throughout the year.  You will be issued with a self-assessment booklet, which you must have with you at each clinic session.

    Learning can be defined as a change in understanding.  Therefore it is your responsibility to demonstrate improved understanding in relation to your knowledge, skills and attitudes throughout the year.  The assessment process is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress.

    You will be given a Clinical Assessment Criteria booklet describing specific skills criteria for the clinical procedures that you undertake in the Dental Clinical Practice course.  The criteria for the assessment of Infection control, Knowledge base and Professional behaviour are common to all procedures and disciplines.

    Please have the Clinical Assessment Criteria booklet with you in the clinic during every session.

    Both you and your tutor will use these standard criteria.  If your assessment differs significantly from that of your tutor’s, the reason(s) should be recorded during the self-assessment process.

    On completion of a clinical procedure, you are required to self-assess your work in your self-assessment booklet.  You should identify strengths, areas needing improvement and strategies for improvement. You are then required to seek feedback from your tutor about your clinical performance.

    It is your responsibility to seek these assessments from your tutors.

    If you choose not to carry out self-assessment, your tutor will mark your performance as unsatisfactory.

    Tutors will record details of student and patient attendances in the clinic and whether or not you have self assessed your work regularly.

    You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.

    You will be given forms for recording your own and patient attendances at each clinical session during the year.  This log comprises an important part of your assessment portfolio.

    An assessment portfolio comprises:
    •    Self-assessment booklet
    •    Radiography log book
    •    Casenote reviews.

    Note:    You should be aware that your final grade in the clinical component of Clinical Practice is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet.  These assessments are formative comments and provided to help you with your learning.  Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in a clinical context.  You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.

    •    Dental therapy and dental hygiene clinics will have equal weighting
    •    Weeks 1-20 will contribute 30% and Weeks 21-40 will contribute 70% towards your final mark in Clinical Practice III OH.

    However you must reach a satisfactory standard in each area to pass Clinical Practice III OH.

    Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings.  However, it is important to note that the final assessment for each semester is based upon the standard obtained towards the end of the assessment period.  It is not based on an average of the entire semester.

    Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to provide help to remedy problems.  If you are aware that you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please see one of your tutors or the Course Co-ordinator.
    Assessment Detail
    OSCA
    In addition to the clinical assessments, there will be an OSCA in Week 43. You will be expected to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of concepts related to work in both Dental & Health Science III OH and Clinical Practice III OH courses.  It will test your problem solving abilities and have a strong clinical emphasis.

    Final Oral Viva
    There will also be a viva voce in Week 43. You will be expected to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge and application of concepts related to work in both Dental & Health Science III OH and Clinical Practice III OH courses.  Further information will be provided during class meetings.

  • 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.

    •    Increased opportunities for clinical experience and community involvement (Minda Clinic and Nursing Homes)
    •    Consolidation of full clinical days
    •    Revised rostering out to specialist clinics
    •    Expanded Special Needs/Community Outreach programm.
  • 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.
