Learning Activities Summary

STRUCTURED PROGRAM
Research methods, experimental design and ethics:

A series of lectures, seminars and workshops that provide an introduction to research literature, research methods, critical thought, management of research data, ethics and other topics that are needed to undertake research training. This part of the programme is presented in an intensive block followed by a series of seminars during the first six months of the program.

Coursework: Through reading, tutorials, seminars and case discussions students will gain knowledge and understanding in the areas of patient examination, assessment and pathological assessment and diagnosis. Students will also participate in a range of interdisciplinary activities with students from other specialist areas.

Seminars: Two diagnostic oral histopathology seminars weekly (where possible in collaboration with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Registrars and Special Needs Dentistry )

Laboratory and Clinical Rotations: Rotations in laboratories at SA Pathology (where possible from second year of the program);rotations in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Outpatient Clinics, ADH (from second year of the program); attendance at the Head and Neck Clinic, RAH where possible Related Activities; individual histopathology tuition; essays; assignments; seminars on
core topics in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology; teaching sessions with undergraduates

Specific Course Requirements

Access to clinics and laboratories may require credentialing and police checks.

Small Group Discovery Experience

Students will be involved in undertaking a major research component to this course, relevant to their field of interest within the discipline. All students will work in a small discovery and inquiry based team environment under the guidance of a researcher/expert in the discipline of oral pathology.

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 Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Learning Outcomes being assessed
Tutorial participation	Formative and summative	10%	1 - 8
Research Report	Summative	40%	6, 8
Written Examination	Summative	40%	1 - 5, 7, 8
Logbook	Formative and summative	10%	8

Assessment of the Structured Program in Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology involves:

Continuous evaluation of performance by staff, satisfactory attendance at and participation in research seminars, regular attendance at research meetings with supervisors, satisfactory progress with research project, evaluation of assigned essays and seminars, completion of logbooks documenting oral and general pathology cases, submission of casebook of 10 cases (see below), written and practical diagnostic oral histopathology examinations (including case discussion with examiners).

End of 1st year: 2 hour written examination in basic pathological principles.

End of 2nd year: 3 hour practical examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (5 cases) plus 1 hour discussion of cases with examiner.

End of 3rd year: 3 hour practical examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (15 cases).

Satisfactory progress will be assessed based on completion of goals set at the beginning of the candidature including satisfactory completion of examinations.

Casebook: Each case will comprise discussion and clinicopathological correlation of selected oral and (at least 1) general pathology cases. Each report will be no more than 10 pages (single spaced type) and include a bibliography of up to 30 references. Each report will include high quality photographs or illustrations (as appropriate) of macroscopic and microscopic findings as well as include a critical appraisal the cited literature.

Assessment of the Research Component involves:

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.
