    Small Group Discovery Experience
    The first year oral health course in Human Biology is part of the University’s Small Group Discovery Experience (SGDE) where experienced academics will work with you in small groups to help you develop key research interests and skills, consequently enabling you to become a lifelong and reflective learner, and an evidenced based practitioner. You will be working with a senior academic and a small group of your peers to research a topic of interest and share your experiences with one and other, as well as with your allocated academic researcher.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    Assessment Related Requirements
    This is a year-long subject across two semesters, with foundation knowledge taught earlier in the course, then developed and applied in the second. Consequently, semester 1 is worth 35% of overall mark, whilst the higher level knowledge in semester 2 contributes 65%.

    All assessment tasks must be completed successfully: that is, this should be considered as a score of at least 55%, in order to achieve competence in the overall course.  Redemption opportunities may be provided throughout the year, but are not guaranteed.
    Assessment Detail
    Tests of Understanding
    To assist you in achieving the stream’s objectives and to offer you ongoing feedback opportunities, trial assessments will be scheduled (please refer to the Human Biology I OH timetable for details). These tests will not count towards your grade but will assist you in the consolidation of the knowledge you will have gained in the stream up until that point. They will also give you feedback as to your areas of strength and weakness, and will assist in the preparation for the end of semester examinations.

    Tutorial Papers
    These sessions are designed to provide you with a range of exercises that allow you to explore the content material in more of a “hands on” approach through the use of different learning modes. Some sessions will require preparation and pre-reading, whilst others will allow you to undertake workbook exercises with tutor support and direction. There is also a range of practical learning activities scheduled throughout the year in the form of clinical sessions and human specimen examination and analysis.

    Tutorials are designed to assist you with the development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes for the Human Biology I OH stream.

    Written Assignments
    The written assignment will allow you to collect data, analyse it’s value and apply it to an oral health context in order to explicitly link your studies in Human Biology I OH in it’s application to oral health practice.
    Submission
    Assignments must be submitted with the dental school’s official cover sheet. Submission may be made electronically or in the assignment boxes located on the 5th floor of the Adelaide Dental Hospital.

    Any requests for extension must be made in writing to the relevant assessor no later than 7 days before the due date. Marks will be deducted for any late submission of work, unless an extension has been granted.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    NOG (No Grade Associated)
    Grade Description
    CN Continuing

    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.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.

    Changes made to Human Biology I OH for 2010 (based on SELTS and teaching staff reflection)

    •    Changes to number, timing and mode of assessment activities
    •    Increasing the use of on-line technologies, particularly interactive learning modules
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines

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

  • 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.
