ICDB - Assessment Blueprint 2024

Results from assessments within this unit will contribute to your full year result according to the assessment blueprint uploaded to CANVAS – See 2024 SDDM 5316 – ICDB Assessment Blueprint. For Semester 1 and 2 results:

A. Supervised Theory Written Exams contribute 40% to the full year assessment result comprising:

Semester 1 comprises 1 x supervised theory written exam for SDDM 5316 and will contribute 20% of the full year assessment result.

Semester 2 comprises 1 x supervised theory written exam for SDDM 5326 and will contribute 20% of the full year assessment result.

Both Semester 1 and 2 theory results are aggregated to contribute a total value of 40% of the full year result. The full year theory result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark aggregated for both Semester 1 and 2 theory exams) as an overall full year result and is considered separately from clinical results. A pass result must be achieved separately from clinical assessment results in order to pass this unit.

B. Continuous clinical assessment (CCA) and Clinical experience assessments (CEA) from Semester 1 + 2 contributes 30% to the full year assessment result. Your results will not show a mark for clinical work at conclusion of semester 1 as part of SDDM 5316, however feedback will be provided to students whose 1st semester results from CCA and CEA work suggest they are potentially at risk of failing this assessment component, development of a remedial study plan will be completed. 

All CCA and CEA results from semester 1 will be carried over and combined with semester 2 clinical results to achieve a full year clinical assessment result within SDDM 5326 at the end of Semester 2. This clinical assessment result will contribute 30% to the full year result and comprises:

1. Continuous Clinical Assessment (CCA) results (20% of full yr result)

2. Clinical Experience Assessment (CEA) results (10% of full yr result)

ICDB SDDM 5316+5326 full year clinical assessment results will be derived from clinical sessions and procedures completed during DMD 3 (Sem 1 + 2) The full year CCA + CEA assessment result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark for both Semester 1 and 2 within clinical assessment result) as an overall full year result. It is considered separately from theory assessment results. A CCA +CEA pass result must be achieved separately from theory assessment results in order to pass this unit and will be calculated from: 

- Continuous Clinical Assessment (CCA) results (20% of full yr result)

CCA grades of Proficient (P) – Satisfactory (S) – Beginner (B) –Unsatisfactory (U) will be assigned for student performance in each clinical session with respect to demonstrated:

i. Knowledge and Understanding & ii. Technical ability

A result in both these CCA areas will be calculated by converting each session result into an average for your CCA during the year. This average result will be assessed and used by the school to determine if your CCA achievement is demonstrative of an acceptable CCA performance for a competent DMD 3 student. An acceptable result indicative of clinical competence must be achieved to meet requirements to pass this unit.

- Clinical Experience Assessment (CEA) results (10% of full yr result)

The CEA results will be derived from all clinical procedures completed during DMD 3.Minimum clinical benchmarks in terms of quantity and quality of procedures completed to demonstrate required clinical competence to pass this unit will be advised during semester 1. Clinical competence must be demonstrated in this assessment component by achieving required benchmark procedural numbers at a satisfactory level as graded in the Dental Assessment System (DAS).

C. Fixed prosthodontics pre-clinical assessment contributes 20 % of full year mark, comprises of:

-Continuous simulation assessment- 10% S1+S2(Simulation sessions in Sem 1 and Sem 2 are marked, and grade is provided for each session)

-Formative simulation exam in Sem 1- 0% - As a formative assessment it contributes 0% to your final unit result.

-Summative simulation exam in Sem 2 -10%

Combined Continuous simulation assessment and Summative simulation exam must be a pass (50% or more).Students are required to pass in combination both Summative simulation exam and Continuous simulation assessements. A pass result must be achieved separately from other assessments results in order to pass this unit.

D. Periodontics case presentation (seen case)-virtual online exam - Sem 2(November) (5 % of full year mark) This is a hurdle assessmet and there will only be 1 opportunity for  re-assessment which is for those students who fail the original assessment ( feedback will be  provided from the marker to students who failed and remediation will be  in a form of self directed lerning ).  A pass result must be achieved separately from other assessments results in order to pass this unit.

E. Removable prosthodontics case presentation -Sem 2(5 % of full year mark)-It is not a hurdle assessment however students are grouped in pairs and required to present their Removable prosthodontics clinical case to a Clinical educator. Students must be available in person. (October/November TBA)

The above assessments A,B,C,D all require independent pass result by the end od semester 2 to enable you to meet the pass requirements of this unit. Failure to achieve a pass in either of these assessment components will result in:

-Failing this unit.

-Not meeting pass requirements of DMD3

and therefore

-will prevent progression in DMD4

Failing this unit will prevent your progression to DMD4 irrespective of results achieved in any other DMD3 Units.

The Formative Unseen Clinical Case (UCC) assessment: Is a 10 Min audio/video presentation of: A. Your management of the UCC case - plus - B. Completion of 1 peer assessment + feedback on another students UCC case submission - This is a compulsory formative assessment preparing you for the summative UCC in DMD 4. Satisfactory completion of this assessment is required to meet requirements of the SDDM5325/5326 unit. As a formative assessment it contributes 0% to your final unit result.

 Clinical Leadership Program – Satisfactory attendence and participation in the Clinical Leadership program and any CLP assignments as assessed by your Clinical Leader must be achieved in order to qualify for a satisfactory result in both ICDB units. This is a non weighted (0%) requirement of the unit.

Note: For all ICDB assessments the requirement is you sit these assessments in person. Where remediation and reassessment is required and offered for students who achieve an unsatisfactory result, you must be available to complete this in person. For any 2nd semester reassessments, these may be scheduled up to and including the reassessment period in December 2024. It is your responsibility to ensure that any planned travel is not booked or is deferred until after this date so you can attend required reassessment sessions in person.
