Learning Activities Summary

Please refer to MyUni.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment tasks within all courses require students to demonstrate that they are able to find, evaluate, utilise, share, and create content using information technologies and the Internet.

Clinical assessment is provided by examinations by internationally accredited examiners. The examinations include case presentations and discussions at specialist level.

Assessment tasks within research project courses require students to demonstrate understanding and application of discipline and project-specific technical skills, knowledge and intellectual understanding including evaluation of outcomes.

Communication of research proposal and outcomes are assessed. Assessment is in both verbal and written form.

Demonstration of professional and ethical behaviours within a research context are assessed within oral presentations and by supervisor assessment of behaviours in a research context.

Research presentations are incorporated in annual examinations, presentation to Society groups and at International research meetings.

The sensitive management of patient data is assessed at clinical examination periods by the masking of confidential material.

Assessment tasks include individual oral and written activities that require locating and evaluation of existing information.

These include preparation and delivery critical literature review related to the research topic and preparation of a thesis and or portfolio describing and evaluating the project findings.

These tasks test the ability of students to critically analyse/review data/information and produce written or verbal outputs that demonstrate comprehension and/or synthesis of new ideas/understanding.

Clinical literature is prepared for seminar presentation, discussion and group assessment via participation.

Written communication is assessed through tasks including critical literature reviews, poster presentation of research findings and preparation of a research thesis to present research project findings.

Oral presentation is assessed through participation in clinical tutorials including journal clubs, case preparation and presentation of seminars related to patient treatment plans, and individual and oral research presentations to the School.

Team work performance in research projects are assessed within by the supervisory panel.

Clinical effectiveness is assessed by external examination during designated assessment periods.

Multiple assessment tasks, often requiring long lead times and planning occur across the DClinDent program and overlap with requirements for preparation of assessment tasks.

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.

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.
