Course Learning Outcomes

1	Recognise the relevance and importance of human biology as essential underpinning knowledge for the practice of oral health.
2	Demonstrate an integrated understanding of basic cell biology, including the nature of the major biological molecules and the relevance of these to oral health therapy.
3	Discuss the fundamental aspects of genetics and identify how this knowledge is applicable to dental studies and clinical application through problem-based learning.
4	Explore the basic tissue types within the body and apply their form to function with a particular emphasis on the hard and soft structures of the head and neck.
5	Develop an understanding of bone with reference to radiographic interpretation and periodontal disease progression through the integration of knowledge.
6	Apply the organization and interrelationship of the major body systems for the maintenance of homeostasis and health, and recognise the importance of medical history taking as an underpinning skill in oral health practice.
7	Apply the anatomy and physiology of the head and neck to practice as an oral health professional, specifically targeting extra and intra oral examination.
8	Discuss the embryonic development of the face and the oral cavity and the significance this has to dental anomalies.
9	Recognise the importance of immunology and microbiology for the purpose of explaining the disease process in the human body and more specifically the initiation and progress of oral diseases.

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.

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
Cardiovascular, lymphatic and digestive systems applied to head & neck anatomy and physiology	Written Paper - test: Feedback/grade	15%	6
Checkpoints and assignments from Respiratory and Renal systems ILMs	Online Assignment: Feedback/grade	5%	6
Immunology	Test of understanding: Feedback		9
Small Group Discovery Experience (SGDE)	Research Poster presentations: Feedback/grade	15%	1-9
Online	Trial Test for sem 2: Exam Feedback		7-9
Neuro-anatomy and physiology of head & neck Embryology Immunology	Written paper: Grade	30%	7-9

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 semester. 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, ie 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.

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

Small Group Discovery Experience
You will have the opportunity to research a broad human biology topic, in order to identify and establish it’s relevance to oral health. Using a wiki platform, your collaborative project, supervised by a senior academic, will contribute to an issue-based scientific poster.

Submission

Assignments must be submitted with the dental school’s official cover sheet. Submission may be made electronically or as otherwise specified.

Any requests for extension must be made in writing to the relevant assessor no later than 7 days before the due date;

Course Grading

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

GS8 (Coursework Grade Scheme)
Grade	Description

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 2016 (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

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