Learning & Teaching Modes:
Hands-on clinical sessions, seminars/tutorials,
self-directed learning, prescribed reading, literature reviews, case reports
and case presentations, log book record, ward rounds, department/discipline
case audits and case reviews, research – regular interaction with research
supervisors.
Clinical Experience: The clinical component provides experience within the
discipline of Paediatric Dentistry. Clinical sessions occur at the Department
of Paediatric Dentistry, Women's and Children's Hospital and at the SA Dental
Service. Sessions consist of Specialist Consultation Clinics, Specialist Recall
Clinics, Outpatients Treatment Clinics, Inpatient Theatre Sessions, Ward
rounds, On call and after hours clinical expereinces and other clinically
related activities which form part training programme.
Coursework: Through reading, tutorials, didactic seminars, interdisciplinary
clinics, medical seminars and case discussions students will gain knowledge and
understanding in the areas of patient examination, assessment, diagnosis,
treatment planning and overall management of patients in paediatric dentistry.

Assessment
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 OF THE STRUCTURED PROGRAM
The assessment of this component of the programme is composed of the following:
Formative Review:
The emphasis of this program is self-motivated learning and evaluation.
However, regular formative review is also held with senior teaching and
clinical staff.
Postgraduate students are assessed continuously throughout their training.
Assessment reviews clinical case mix, amount of clinical experience and
standard of patient care. Deficient areas are discussed with clinical
supervisors and remedied together with the postgraduate student.
In all years, students are assessed on a continuing basis in the conduct of
their clinical activities, patient management, treatment planning, case report
presentation, presentations of patient seen in the clinics and the log book.
Clinical assessment will include pre-operative, peri-operative and
post-operative management in lines with the specialist discipline and
established guidelines on the overall management of paediatric dentistry patients.
Summative Assessment:
Students will receive continuous assessment of their clinical work, clinical
case presentations and log book.
These form the overall clinical assessment and led to the clinical barrier
written examinations and viva voce examinations at the end of each year.
Achievement Case Reports:
Six to twelve “achievement” case presentations are required at the end of the 3rd
year.
These “achievement” cases are cases selected by the student to highlight their
achievements during the program and the range of cases managed. The principle
of the “achievement” cases is to ensure a broad range of clinical cases is
obtained and treatment is provided and supported by current research and
literature.
During each semester, students will be expected to prepare and present their
clinical achievement cases.
There is an expectation that students present five to six clinical cases each
semester, the most comprehensive of these will be included in the “twelve
achievement cases” submitted for their final assessment in third year.
These case reports will be assessed based on the presentation style,
pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative management. In addition,
appropriate literature to support their respective management of each case.
Portfolio/Logbook Requirements:
Students will complete a comprehensive logbook of patients. The logbook will
serve as a reference of the relative clinical case mix of patients seen;
treatments performed and will aid continual assessment of each postgraduate. The
registrar logbooks will be audited at the end of each semester. This process
will aid in the clinical experience all postgraduate students receive and to
expose the postgraduate students to a wide variety of cases. The logbook will
also form part of the clinical assessment for each year and will form part of
their overall assessment during their final examination of the third year.
Assignments / Presentations:
In each semester there are a series of traditional didactic teaching seminars,
as well as fortnightly departmental / discipline meetings. Students will be
required to present comprehensive reviews of selected topics as directed on
their individual didactic roster, and departmental / discipline meetings.
Students will be assessed on their ability to review the literature and prepare
an appropriately written, referenced literature review related to the specific
topic. In addition, students are expected to present their review in the form
of a power point presentation. An unsatisfactory in a specific component of the
review will result in the need for the student to repeat this until the
appropriate standard is achieved.
Examinations:
Comprehensive internal written and oral examinations are held at the completion
of each year (exceptions to this will be at the direction of the programme
director). In each semester there is a three hour written examination, one hour
oral examination and one hour presentation of their log book and achievement
case reports. These examinations will serve as a barrier examination and
failure to pass this will require a supplementary examination, repeating of
that year, or withdrawal of the candidate from the programme. During the final
year in of the 3rd year, a comprehensive external examination will be
conducted.
Summary: In order to fulfil the requirements for this course, the student will
need to have satisfactorily completed all components of the program.
Submission
The submission of a research thesis occurs at the end of the programmeCourse Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
GS8 (Coursework Grade Scheme) Grade Description CN Continuing FNS Fail No Submission NFE No Formal Examination F Fail NGP Non Graded Pass P Pass C Credit D Distinction HD High Distinction RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

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.
