Assessment Related Requirements
Assessment of Simulation Clinic/Clinic
For your Simulation Clinic sessions (Operative Techniques) students will complete a self-assessment sheet for each procedure and discuss it with their tutor.
• At the end of Semester 1 & 2 you will have a feedback session with your tutor, where you will discuss a formative grade, based upon your self-assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only).
• At the end of Semester 1 your tutor will also award summative marks towards your final practical mark.
• At the end of Semester 2 your tutor will award summative marks towards your final practical mark.
For your Pre-Clinical/Clinical Assessment, you will complete a self-assessment sheet at the end of each session and discuss your assessment with your tutor.
In the Dental Hygiene component:
• At the end of Semester 1, you will have a feedback session with your tutor/coordinator, who will allocate a summative grade based upon your self-assessment sheets.
• At the end of Semester 1 and Semester 2 these summative marks awarded by your tutors will contribute towards your final practical mark. A feedback session for each student with the Stream Coordinator will be scheduled early in Semester 2 to review the Semester 1 assessment & set goals for Semester 2.
In the Dental Therapy component:
• At the end of Semester 1 you will have a feedback session with your tutor, where you will receive a formative grade, based upon your self-assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only)
• At the end of Semester 2 your tutor will award a summative mark, which will contribute to your final clinical assessment
Further information about the practical assessment will be given during class meetings.
Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to remediate the level of performance. If you consider that you are having difficulty with any part of the stream, please contact the relevant discipline/stream coordinator.
To obtain a pass grade in Clinical Practice IIOH, you must obtain a satisfactory (or above) result for the year in the assignments and written examinations as well as in each of the clinical/laboratory components.
A uniform system of clinical assessment is used in all years of both BDS and BOH programs. It is based on self-assessment and it:
• gives you direct input into your clinical assessment and learning experiences
• encourages you to reflect on the learning process as a whole
• teaches you to reflect on and assess the quality of your clinical work using a standardised assessment procedure
• encourages you to learn by receiving regular feedback
• encourages you to accept responsibility for what you say and do in the clinic
• includes objective measures of clinical performance in each discipline
• helps develop life-long learning skills
Wherever possible, each session will have time allocated for you to:
• review with your tutor what you propose to do for each patient for the session
• debrief to self-assess and discuss the self-assessment with your tutor.
You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.
You will have further opportunity for reflection and sharing experiences with peers during regular debriefing sessions.
You are required to keep and maintain detailed up-to-date information about your work in the clinic throughout the year. You will be issued with a self-assessment booklet, which you must have with you at each clinic session. In addition, you will complete a Clinical Learning Portfolio that demonstrates attainment of clinical competencies you successfully complete in pre-clinic and clinic sessions over the year. During the orientation period, you will be giving detailed information on how these evidence portfolios are to be implemented in your clinical program.
A specific self-assessment book for the Operative Techniques sessions in the Simulation Clinic will also be issued to you, and should be brought to all these sessions.
Learning can be defined as a change in understanding. Therefore it is your responsibility to demonstrate improved understanding in relation to your knowledge, skills and attitudes throughout the year. The assessment process is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress.
You will be given Clinical Assessment Criteria information (for both sem 1 and sem 2) describing specific skills criteria for the clinical procedures that you undertake in the Clinical Practice II OH course. The criteria for the assessment of Infection control, Knowledge base and Professional behaviour are common to all procedures and disciplines.
Both you and your tutor will use these standard criteria. If your assessment differs significantly from that of your tutor’s, the reason(s) should be recorded during the self-assessment process.
On completion of a clinical procedure, you are required to self-assess your work in your self-assessment booklet. You should identify strengths, areas needing improvement and strategies for improvement. You are then required to seek feedback from your tutor about your clinical performance.
It is your responsibility to seek these assessments from your tutors.
If you choose not to carry out self-assessment, your tutor will mark your performance as unsatisfactory.
Tutors will record details of student and patient attendances in the clinic and whether or not you have self-assessed your work regularly.
You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.
Note: You should be aware that your final grade in the preclinical/clinical component of Clinical Practice II OH 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. Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in a clinical context. You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.
Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings. However, it is 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.
Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to provide help to remedy problems. If you are aware that you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please see one of your tutors or the stream co-ordinator.Assessment Detail
A satisfactory standard in each practical and theory component must be obtained to secure a passing grade in all components of Clinical Practice IIOH. Redemption opportunities may be offered for written assessments, but are not available for preclinical or clinical assessment areas.

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.
