Learning Outcomes
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. 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. 3 Accurately recognise, record and describe deviations from normal appearance and function in the oral tissues (including bony structures) and report / work collaboratively with a dentist across a full cycle of patient care. 4 Identify, describe and discuss the implications of a range of medical conditions, including developmental disturbances, systemic diseases and immunological challenges, that might influence your patients' health, including oral tissues. Use that to recognise, implement and evaluate any necessary precautions and/or modifications that need to be made to patient management within the OHT scope. 5 Briefly explain actions of administered drugs for related medical conditions that may affect dental patient managment. 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 OHT scope.

Assessment
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 Hurdle (Yes/No) Tutorial assignment Summative 15% No Case study Summative 15% No Semester 1 Exam Summative 35% Semester 1 Topics Yes Semester 2 Exam Summative 35% Semester 2 Topics Yes
Please note, as this is an annualised course, all summative Semester 1 & 2 tasks have been listed.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 and 2 written examinations)
Assessment tasks should 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.
Submission
No information currently available.
Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
GS8 (Coursework Grade Scheme) Grade Description CN Continuing FNS Fail No Submission NFE No Formal Examination F Fail NGP Non Graded Pass P Pass C Credit D Distinction HD High Distinction RP Result Pending 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.

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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
