Communications about the course will be via the Announcements section on MyUni and/or by email.
Additional course-related material, such as a detailed schedule of class meeting and other classes, and assessment is available through MyUni.

A variety of learning modes will be used in this course including:

•    Dentally-related situations/experiences focussing particularly on the stated stream objectives (Integrated Learning Activities - ILAs)
•    Class Meetings
•    Clinic sessions
•    Simulation Clinic
•    Biodent Sciences Workshops
•    Assignments, Quizzes
•    Library research/ literature searches.

To enable successful completion of the course, students need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study. In addition to the formal contact time [eg, class meetings, tutorials, practicals, ILA] students need to allocate non-contact time to their studies. Non-contact time is required for a range of activities which may include, but are not limited to, assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revision, writing, informal discussions with other students, ILA group discussions and consultation with staff.

While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary between courses. As a guide to achieve a satisfactory level of performance, however, a full-time student would expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hrs/wk on their studies during learning periods. This includes contact and non-contact hours (see below).

The learning periods for BDS I are:
•    19 weeks for Semester 1 (ie O'Week to the end of the examination period) and
•    17 weeks for semester 2 (ie week 1 to the end of the examination period)

The workload for undergraduate/postgraduate programs is 24 units per year (full-time).
Total workload (h/week): 48

Contact hours (h/week): up to 26: Comprised of ILA, Class Meetings, Simulation Clinic, Clinic sessions, Workshops and Tutorials.

Non Contact hours (h/week): approx 22: Comprised of Group Meetings; Group and Individual Learning, and Preparation for ILAs, class meetings, simulation clinic, clinic, workshops, tutorial activities, assignments and assessment.

Annual CPR Update (SA Health directive)
SA Health has advised the School of Dentistry that all BDS students must hold a current CPR certificate. This needs to be renewed each calendar year by the completion of an accredited, nationally recognised First aid or CPR course. A CPR or CPR refresher course is run by the Adelaide Health Simulation and Skills Centre (AHSSC) that is located in the Medical School.
There is a cost of $25.00 for each student.

Equipment provided
Enlarged/Oversized plaster models: provided (loan) in Tuesday am Learning Laboratory, semester 1.
These must be returned to the simulation clinic at the BEGINNING OF SEMESTER 2.

Equipment required
Extracted natural teeth:
You will need to contact your local dentist and/or mentor and ask them to collect extracted teeth for use in the program. Information about the procedure that should be followed for collection of extracted natural teeth will be provided in O’Week and on the Dental Science and Practice I MyUni site.

Laboratory coat:
You are required to purchase a laboratory coat that should be worn in all learning laboratories in Dental Science and Practice I. You are required to wear this during your Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday/Friday morning laboratory and resource sessions, to conform with OH&S regulations.

Clinic Coat:
All students will be required to purchase a blue clinic coat to wear in the clinic during all clinic procedures.

Protective glasses:
You are required to wear protective glasses during your learning laboratories and in the clinic sessions, that conform to 最新糖心Vlogn OH&S regulations. The eyewear should be close fitting and not have gaps at the side of the eyes or above the brow. Students who wear prescription glasses need to purchase an overshield or consider if applicable wearing contact lenses with protective glasses. More information will be provided during O week.

Instrument Kit:
All students are required to purchase a kit of dental instruments for DSP1. These instruments will be required for exercises carried out on Columbia Models and Natural Tooth Manikins and will also be required for use in 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of operative technique exercises. Further information will be provided during O Week.

Plastic tooth Models:
The purchase of plastic models of teeth, gums and bases is required for use in Dental Science & Practice I. The same set of teeth will also be used in later years of the program. In previous years second hand models were available for purchase from senior students, but due to major changes to the teaching laboratories, the previously used models will no longer be suitable. You will be informed during O week of the cost of the articulated plastic tooth models and when the models will be available for purchase.

The combined cost for the instrument kit and plastic tooth models in 2018 was approximately $1500-2000.

Dental Loupes:
The purchase of dental loupes is highly recommended from BDS2 onwards. The cost is approximately $1000 upwards.

Student learning from the SGDE activities involves the following processes as part of participating in the ILAs and Evicen-based dentistry activities:
•    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 Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
Clinic/ Sim clinic	Summative	20%	All
Assignments, including Library Database Assignment using PUBMED	Summative	NGP	All
Written Assessment (tests and exams)	Summative	80%	All

Attendance at all classes is compulsory.

Absence from classes must be notified via the use of the absentism form located on MyUni Course Information.

Feedback (Formative Assessment)
Formative assessment activities are provided in each semester. These are to help students learn key concepts in DSP I, and provide opportunities to seek and obtain feedback as part of monitoring the progress of their learning, and to experience in the question formats used in DSP I. These activities are in the form of questions and other activities prior to and in classes, and on-line activities. The Practice Examination in Semester 1 will also enable students to review their progress and identify areas needing further learning.

To achieve a satisfactory grade in DSPI: students must demonstrate professional behaviour throughout the year. This includes punctual attendance and participation in ALL SCHEDULED CLASSES and in ALL INTERACTIONS with student colleagues and academic and support staff within the 最新糖心Vlog. Professional behaviour is reviewed as part of theSchool Assessment Board proceedings.

DSP1 Assessment activities comprise written and practical components. The written component includes tests/written activities undertaken during semester, and examinations at the end of each semester. There are two written examinations at the end of Semester 1 and two written examinations at the end of Semester 2, plus a 90-minute Progressive Integrated Examination at the end of Semester 2. The practical component includes activities undertaken in clinic and simulation clinic.

Written assessment (including exams) falls under the 最新糖心Vlog's rules and regulations re cheating, plagiarism etc.

The overall grade for the year will be determined by performance in the written component and performance in the clinic and simulation clinic. The final grade is comprised of written component (80%) and practical component (20%). A satisfactory grade will only be awarded to students who achieve a satisfactory standard in all components.

To pass DSPI and the First Annual Examination (Progressive Integrated Assessment: PIA), students must obtain:
• a satisfactory result in each of the components of the summative assessment in semesters 1 and 2; and
• a satisfactory performance in the written component overall and a satisfactory performance in the PIA.

If an overall borderline grade is achieved in the examinations or the PIA, a student may be offered an opportunity to sit an Additional Assessment examination.

 

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.

As this is a year-long course provisional results for Semester 1 will be availalbe on MyUni.  An announcement will be posted when results are available.

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 Course Experience Questionnaire (completed after graduation) 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, course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted every year. 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 can be found at:

A summary of student feedback from the previous year with our response and actions taken are available on MyUni.

The Faculty of Health Sciences has a Student Support Centre for all students enrolled in a progam within the Faculty. They are located on the Ground floor, Helen Mayo North, Frome Road and can be contacted at askhealthsc@adelaide.edu.au or by phone: + 61 8 8313 0273.
