Course Learning Outcomes

1	Apply an understanding of the physical and chemical nature of the oral microflora to explain the formation of dental plaque and calculus and relate these to the development of dental caries and periodontal disease in your patients
2	Explain the process of inflammation, healing and repair and relate this to the management of caries, periodontal disease, pulpal infection and other inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity in your patients
3	Accurately recognize record and describe deviations from normal appearance and normal function in the oral tissues and present a comprehensive descriptive report to the dentist for verification
4	Identify, describe and discuss the implications of a range of medical conditions, including developmental disturbances and systemic diseases, that influence your patients' oral tissues and dental treatment, and recognise, implement and evaluate any necessary precautions and/or modifications that need to be made to dental hygiene and therapy treatment within the scope of duties
5	Briefly explain actions of administered drugs for related medical conditions that may affect your patient’s course of dental treatment, and demonstrate the investigative skills required to determine possible contraindications in consultation with the dentist where required
6	Demonstrate the ability to recognise and manage a medical emergency and/or disorder in the dental environment within the role of the dental hygienist and dental therapist
7	Briefly describe the aetiology and classification of neoplasias for both systemic and oral tissues, and recognise in your patients related oral manifestations that require referral to the dentist
8	Recognise oral manifestations of human infectious diseases and conditions with immunologic pathogenesis and discuss the implications of these on treatment and care plans for your patients
9	Describe the aetiology and pathology of conditions associated with the Temporomandibular joint, relate these to the limitations these conditions place on a course of dental treatment, and implement possible therapeutic strategies at the direction of a dentist

The University'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 Outcome(s) being addressed
Tutorial assignment	Summative	10%
Case study	Summative	10%
Semester 1 Exam	Summative	45%	Semester 1 Topics
Semester 2 Exam	Summative	35%	Semester 2 Topics

Assessment Related Requirements

You will receive feedback from a variety of sources:

Self evaluation – during learning laboratories, role-play, case studies and tutorials
Peers – during group discussions and presentations, role-play, case studies, and tutorials
Facilitators – during learning laboratories, role-play, case studies, tutorials, group presentations, assignments and examinations
It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.

Learning laboratories/case study reviews/tutorials
These sessions are designed to provide you with a range of exercises that will allow you to explore the content material in a more of a “hands on” approach through the use of clinical scenarios and different learning modalities. These sessions will be designed to assist you with the development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes for this stream.

Assessment Detail

Marks for your assessment will be based on a combination of the written assignment, presentation of tutorial assignments from the workbook, and on selective subject examinations.
(Semester 1 OSCA and Semester 1 and 2 written examinations)

ALL assessment tasks must be completed to a satisfactory standard (this should generally be considered as a minimum of 55%), in order to achieve an overall passing grade in the Human Biology IIOH stream. Redemption opportunities may be provided throughout the year.
Any supplementary assessment will be by written examination or OSCA.

OSCA
In addition to the clinical assessments, there will be an OSCA at the end of Semester 2. You will be expected to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of concepts related to work in the Human Biology II OH stream. It will test your problem solving abilities and have a strong clinical emphasis.

Submission

No information currently available.

Student Feedback

The University 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 University 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’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
