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
Individual Assessment
In order to pass PHPP IIOH, students need to achieve a minimum weighted grade, from the combined two summative assessments, that equates to a Performance Standard of 'Satisfactory' or above (see Table 1 below). An individual assessment that results in a 'Borderline' assessment may be conceded to a Pass at the end of the year based on other results. An individual assessment that results in a Performance Grade to that below a Borderline result, will be referred to Academic Board for review, where decisions will be made relating to Replacement / Additional Assessment (R/AA) eligibility.
Assessment Summary & Table
In the BOH Program, criterion-based assessment is used with reporting of results wherever possible using a graded system
rather than a 0-100 marking scheme. A non-graded scheme (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) may also be used to report
performance within some components of the course.
During the year the school uses the following grades to indicate categories of performance for written tests, clinics and
simulation clinic sessions: E, G, S, B and U (see Table 1).
TABLE 1 - Performance Grades
GRADE CATEGORY OF PERFORMANCE PERCENTAGE RANGE
E Excellent >80
G Good 70 – 79%
S Satisfactory 60 – 69%
B Borderline 50 – 59%*
U Unsatisfactory <50%
* NB This category is not used at the end of the year
Student Engagement and 'Active Participation'
Egagement and participation in group, case or problem-based learning activity is an expectation in this course. Curriculum covered in the assignments is contextualised and may only be fully realised by students through deeper participation and engagement in the weekly class activities.
Feedback
You will receive feedback from a variety of sources. Onging feedback of your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to validate how you are progressing in PHPPIIOH. It also provides staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Social Context of Dentistry Written Assignment Group Assessment NGP Evidenced Based Dentistry Online Test

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.
