• Assignments, Quizzes
• Library research/ literature searches.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

To enable successful completion of the course, students need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study. In addition to the formal contact time [eg, class meetings, online lectures/online Zoom, sim clinic, clinic, lab sessions, workshops/tutorials, CAD sessions ILA] students need to allocate non-contact time to their studies. Non-contact time is required for a range of activities which may include, but are not limited to, assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revision, writing, informal discussions with other students, ILA group discussions and consultation with staff.

While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary between courses. As a guide to achieve a satisfactory level of performance, however, a full-time student would expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hrs/wk on their studies during learning periods. This includes contact and non-contact hours (see below).

The workload for undergraduate/postgraduate programs is 24 units per year (full-time).
Total workload (h/week): 48

Contact hours (h/week): up to 24: Comprised of class meetings, online lectures/online Zoom, sim clinic, clinic, lab sessions , workshops/tutorials/CADs, ILA

Non Contact hours (h/week): approx 24: Comprised of Group Meetings; Group and Individual Learning, and Preparation for ILAs, class meetings, simulation clinic, clinic, workshops, pre-class activities, assignments and assessment.

The purchase of plastic models of teeth, gums and bases is required for use in Dental Science & Practice I. The same set of teeth will also be used in later years of the program. In previous years second hand models were available for purchase from senior students, but due to major changes to the teaching laboratories, the previously used models will no longer be suitable. You will be informed during O week of the cost of the articulated plastic tooth models and when the models will be available for purchase.

The combined cost for the instrument kit and plastic tooth models in 2023 was approximately $1500-2000.

Dental Loupes:
The purchase of dental loupes is highly recommended from BDS2 onwards. The cost is approximately $1000 upwards.

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 Related Requirements

Attendance at all classes eg clinic, sim clinic, ILA sessions, subrosters (ie, radiography) are compulsory.

All students in the BDS program are required to notify the School of absences. Students are reminded that the BDS programme is a professional degree, requiring the highest standards of professional behavior. Notification of any absence is also good professional conduct. International students need to be compliant and attend classes as a requirement of the visa obligations and responsibilities under the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000.

If you are unable to attend your scheduled session the following must be followed: Email the BDS Yr level coordinator and inform them of your absence ASAP

Assessment Detail

The Progressive Integrated Assessment (PIA) will consist of a written assessment at the end of Semester 1 and end of Semester 2 that draws on core concepts and understanding of core material covered during the year. The PIA provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate that they have a satisfactory knowledge and understanding of core concepts learned throughout the BDS1 course. The end of year results of the PIA will be a Non-graded Pass (NGP) or Fail (see Table 2).

Students will also be required to undertake two timed practical assessments at the end of Semester 2 in Simulation Clinic. These Direct Observations of Performance (DOPs). A formative DOPs will be held in Semester 1. These tasks not only allow students to demonstrate appropriate knowledge and understanding of key concepts but also the ability to successfully apply that knowledge to practical procedures.

Students must obtain a satisfactory result in the PIA and DOPs assessments to pass the First Annual Examination. If a student fails any aspects of the First Annual Examination, then they will fail BDS I and be required to repeat first year (i.e., re-enrol in DSP 1).

Note students must Pass DENT 1005AHO/BHO AND DENT 1000HO TO PASS YEAR 1 OVERALL

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.

The Faculty of Health Sciences has a Student Support Centre for all students enrolled in a progam within the Faculty. They are located on
the Ground floor, Helen Mayo North, Frome Road and can be contacted at askhealthsc@adelaide.edu.au or by phone: + 61 8 8313 0273.

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.
