DENT 5005BHO - Dental Science and Practice V Part 2

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 2 - 2024

Dental Science and Practice V provides students with the opportunity to develop as dental professionals who, upon successful completion of the course, will be able to manage patients with an increasingly complex range of dental problems. The focus of the course is to emphasise a holistic, preventive-based approach to oral health care, with a minimally invasive approach if restorative treatment is required. Students will be expected to apply and integrate knowledge and understanding of relevant biological and medical sciences in managing their patients and demonstrate high levels of professionalism, including an ability to self-assess effectively and a desire to continue to learn and grow as a member of the dental profession.

Students may need to access other software or online resources via the University library (e.g. EndNote).

    Recommended Resources

    Recommended textbooks and peer-reviewed articles will be communicated by teaching staff via the Learning Management System (MyUni). Students are encouraged to choose their resources that take their learning style into account. Materials such as online videos, presentations and documents will be provided via MyUni. Students will be required to submit written assignments via a Turnitin digital submission portal which can be accessed through MyUni.

    Online Learning

    MyUni will be used as a digital platform to:
    • host online lectures and other learning and teaching activities, resources including supporting documents, videos and external web-links. • communicate course and program related announcements to students.
    • promote student discussion and communication via Collborative Documents or Discussion Boards.
    • enable students to access and complete formative and summative assessments and receive e-feedback.

    These resources will be released at appropriate time points during the semester and available for the duration of the program. Students will also be able to access the Barr Smith Library and access electronic databases, e-books and peer-reviewed resources.

  • 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.

    The School follows the University’s SELT policy regarding the use of SELTs to evaluate its programmes, courses and teachers.  The results are reviewed with by Year and Course Coordinators and actions taken as appropriate.  A summary of changes that have been made are circulated to staff and students after the review process.

    The year co-ordinators will meet with students on a regular basis to discuss the delivery of the course, content, clinical and other matters.

    Student representative across the BDS program also meet periodically with the Head of School.
  • Student Support
    Students returning from a period of leave or repeating the year will have their ‘special program’ documented in writing following discussion with the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate – Student Affairs).  Regular follow-up meetings will be required.
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
