Skills-based assessments:
Students will have ongoing clinical social assessment from supervisors and coordinators. Summative Continuous Sessional Clinical Assessment: Continuous sessional assessment occurs during each pre-clinical and/or clinical session. These assessments aim to determine student development of clinical competency with patient care as developed during the semester. The assessments also contribute to progression decisions and include consideration of professionalism; patient management and communication. The final clinical assessment score is an arithmetic mean of all scores by all tutors. This continual assessment includes all ADC competencies in psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains.
At the end of this semester students will present their case presentation patients for evaluation by examiners. Assessment may include treatment planning of an unseen patient.

Submitted work:
A logbook of all activities including lectures, presentations and patients treated. An additional portfolio of the students chosen case presentations which must represent the depth and breadth of knowledge and skills of at least 5 completed cases for unit DENT6372. The logbook and portfolio must be prepared and submitted a one month prior for DENT 6372
The portfolio must include comprehensive case reports and must include the students defence and reflections as well as relevant references to each case.

Examinations:
Examination for this units will be during the formal exam period and will take the form of comprehensive case presentations with and/or without the patient present and an oral examination.

Assessment criteria

The University awards common result grades, set out in the Coursework Policy 2014 (Schedule 1).

As a general guide, a high distinction indicates work of an exceptional standard, a distinction a very high standard, a credit a good standard, and a pass an acceptable standard.

Result name	Mark range	Description

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance: Attendance is a professional responsibility required of all students admitted to academic programs within the Sydney Dental School. All programs in the Sydney Dental School have a 90% attendance policy, for all compulsory components of Units of Study, as detailed in the Faculty of Dentistry Attendance Provisions 2015. This includes all clinical and practical sessions. The course requirements cannot be satisfied if more than 10% of any section of a course is missed for any reason.
Professionalism: Students in all Sydney Dental School programs are subject to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Professionalism Requirements 2019 and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Professionalism Provisions 2019. Professionalism is an essential component of developing competency to practice. It is important for students to demonstrate professional behaviour in all contexts and environments. In accordance with these local provisions: candidates who demonstrate serious or repeated unprofessional behaviour may be required to show cause as to why their enrolment should be continued. Failure to show cause may result in exclusion from the course

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Required readings

Readings recommended are not exhaustive and additional student exploration of the literature is expected.

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University’s graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. Demonstrate understanding and competence in patient evaluation, gathering of relevant data for risk assessment, treatment planning, diagnosis and treatment sequencing for straightforward and advanced uni- and multi-disciplinary cases requiring prosthodontic rehabilitation.
LO2. Demonstrate understanding and competence in the provision of complex amalgam and resin restorations as well as all intracoronal and extracoronal tooth preparations for direct and indirect restorations using conventional analogue and digital workflow
LO3. Demonstrate understanding as well as clinical and laboratory competence in conformative, straightforward and advanced diagnosis and clinical rehabilitation of the dentate, edentulous and partially edentulous patient with fixed and removable prostheses using conventional analogue and CAD CAM workflows
LO4. Demonstrate understanding and competence in the manipulation and assembly of surgical and restorative implant componentry
LO5. Demonstrate intercollegial communication skills and efficiency, respectful and informative communication skills with patients to facilitate treatment decisions and eliciting genuine informed consent.

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.

GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.
GQ6	Cultural competence Cultural Competence is the ability to actively, ethically, respectfully, and successfully engage across and between cultures. In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
