Clinic Sessions
Clinical Practice - Paediatric care (Dental Therapy) and possibly Adult care (Extended scope):

There will be paediatric and possibly extended adult care (if selected for pilot program in 2022-2023), clinic sessions each week across the 48 week clinical year. Clinic sessions, locations and tutors may change during the year. Students will be informed of rosters and any changes in advance.

All clinic sessions are compulsory. You may be required to make up missed clinic sessions at nominated times.

Where an excessive number of sessions have been missed (and it is not possible or reasonable to offer make up sessions) the student may be precluded from undertaking final assessments (written assessments).

Learning Activities Summary

The course will consist of a range of learning/teaching activities which focus on the following disciplines:
• Behavioural Science
• Orthodontics
• Conservative Dentistry
• Paediatric Dentistry
• Oral Diagnosis
• Dental Materials
• Preventive Dentistry
• Radiology and Radiography
• Rural & Remote Practice
• Periodontics*
• Special Needs*
• Geriatric Dentistry*

* see information below regarding requirements for maintaining competency of adult care (dental hygiene) skills and knowledge

Specific Course Requirements

Adult care (dental hygiene) - maintaining competency
You are expected to maintain a satisfactory standard in the provision of adult (dental hygiene) care.

To demonstrate your ongoing dental hygiene proficiency you must maintain a log of hours worked as a dental hygienist across the semester. This should be equivalent to 1 day per week for each of the semester weeks.

The log of hours must be submitted to the Clinical Practice Coordinator at the end of each semester unless otherwise indicated. The log should be counter-signed (by your employer/clinic manager) to validate the hours.

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	Task Type	Weighting	Learning Outcome

Paediatric care Clinic Dental Therapy	Summative end-sem 1 end-sem 2	30% 70&	1 - 8
Community projects and specialist placements		NGP	1 - 8

Assessment Related Requirements

Assessment overall consists of one hurdle, see below.

Hurdle 1: Practical component – Paedo practice (Dental therapy)
Performance in clinic (and any simulated clinic) is based on written assessments of performance in clinical and sim clinic sessions over Semester 2 (approx mid-year to the end of the year). Assessment addresses application of knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour and interpersonal skills (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

You are responsible for monitoring your own learning and therefore you should be familiar with the Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards. Clinic and sim clinic tutors provide verbal and written feedback related to the assessment criteria and standards to you during each session to assist your learning and development. You should be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance to identify and implement realistic strategies for improvement.

At the end of semester 1, each student receives written feedback regarding the standard of performance achieved during Semester 1. During Semester 2, students will have a face-to-face discussion with their tutor about their clinic learning plans and standard of performance. At the end of semester 2, tutors submit a final written summative assessment of the standard of performance you have achieved in Semester 2 (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

Formative and summative clinic performance in CPIIIOH is based on a criterion-based grading system (E, G, S, B, U) for clinic. These grades are converted to a score that contributes the practical components for the year (see Table 2).

To pass the CPIIIOH course overall you must achieve a satisfactory grade for both your paedo and perio clinic components. The final grade in the clinical component of CPIIIOH is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments provide feedback to help you with your learning. Your final assessment is based on an overall review of your clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour, and interpersonal skills in the clinic context across the whole academic year. This includes overall professional behaviour, such as attendance and monitoring your own performance.

Assessment Detail

Formative Assessment

Ongoing feedback on your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to assess how you are progressing in CP III OH. It also provides the staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.

At around Weeks 14 and 33 (mid-semesters 1 & 2), you will have a feedback session with your tutor, who will discuss a formative grade with you, based upon your self- assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only).

These are designed to give you feedback on your progress, and to provide a scaffold to assist you in identifying areas not yet meeting the required standard and develop approaches for improvement. You should use each source of formative feedback to monitor your own performance and implement strategies to address any issues.

Summative Assessment

Summative assessment 1
At around Week 22 (end semester 1), you will receive a written review of your progress and summative grades will be awarded by the course coordinator towards your final practical grade. This summative component will be weighted 30% towards your final grade. Students that have not achieved a satisfactory standard will be required to meet with the course coordinators and discuss strategies for improvement.

Summative assessment 2
At the end of semester 2 Week 48 a summative grade will be awarded by the course coordinator towards your final practical grade. This summative component will be weighted 70% towards your final grade.

Your community projects and specialist placements are included in the relevant summative clinical practice grade.

Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings. However, 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.

It is also 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.

Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills, attitudes and professional behaviour in a clinical context. You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.

Submission

All written work must be submitted through Turnitin, an plagiarism detection tool.
Further information on submission process and requirements will be available through MyUni.

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.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

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.
