Assessment summary

This is a continuing unit integrated and aggregated with results from SDDM5425 Integrated Dentistry A4 for a full year assessment result.

For Semester 1:

- Theory Exam is worth 100% of the semester 1 SDDM 5415 unit result

These results will be aggregated (contribute to) with your second semester results from SDDM 5425 to calculate a full year assessment result. The results from this unit will contribute to your full year result according to the following assessment blueprint:

A. Theory Exams contribute 50% to the full year assessment result comprising:

Semester 1 comprises 1 x theory exam for SDDM 5415 and will contribute 25% of the full year assessment result.

Semester 2 comprises 1 x theory exam for SDDM 5425 and will contribute 25% of the full year assessment result.

Both Semester 1 and 2 theory results are aggregated to contribute a total value of 50% 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. This pass result must be achieved separately from clinical assessment results in order to pass this unit.

B. Clinical Assessment contributes 40% to the full year assessment result:
A mark will not be provided for your clinical work at conclusion of semester 1 as part of SDDM 5415. All of your clinical work and sessional assessment results from Semester 1 will be carried over and will contribute a clinical assessment result within SDDM 5425 at the end of Semester 2. This clinical assessment result will contribute 40% of the full year result and comprise:

1. Continuous Clinical Assessment (CCA) results

2. Clinical Logbook results

ICDA SDDM 5415+5415 full year clinical assessment results will be derived from clinical sessions and procedures completed during DMD 4 (Sem 1 + 2) integrated and acute care clinic appointments (not specialty or preio clinics).

The full year clinical assessment result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark for both Semester 1 and 2 clinical results) as an overall full year result. It is considered separately from theory assessment results. A clinical assessment 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

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 4 student. An acceptable result indicative of clinical competence must be achieved to meet requirements to pass this unit.

- Clinical Logbook results

The clinical logbook results will be derived from all clinical procedures completed during DMD 4 integrated and acute care clinic sessions. 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.

C. Endodontics Case Report portfolio due in 2nd Semester as part of SDDM 5425 is worth 5% of the full year result

D. Integrated Case presentation and VIVA is completed in 2nd Semester as part of SDDM 5425 and is worth 5% of the full year result.

These require an independent pass result to enable you to meet requirements of this unit. Failure to achieve a pass in either of these components, risks failing this unit and not meeting requirements of DMD 4.

Note: For the Endodontics case report portfolio AND Integrated case presentation + VIVA, remediation and reassessment in these assessments will be required in person – remediation and reassessment cannot be completed online. If you are notified of a fail result in either or both of these assessments, you must be available to complete remediation and reassessment in person after Semester 2 formal exam period, up to and including 23rd December 2021. 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 sessions in person.

Submission of a completed molar case within the Endodontic case report portfolio, where the molar case is clinically graded as satisfactory or above, does not imply or guarantee a pass result for this assessment. The Endodontic molar case report portfolio assesses areas additional to clinical outcomes. Refer the Endodontic molar case report rubric for further information.

Please refer to the assessment blueprint for ICDA 5415 + 5425 on CANVAS for more information relating to assessment for these units.

Assessment criteria

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

You may only use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator. If you do use these tools, you must acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section. The assessment instructions or unit outline will give guidance of the types of tools that are permitted and how the tools should be used.

Your final submitted work must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools that have been used in the assessment, and any material that forms part of your submission must be appropriately referenced. For guidance on how to acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the AI in Education Canvas site.

The unapproved use of these tools or unacknowledged use will be considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

Studiosity is permitted unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission as detailed on the Learning Hub’s Canvas page.

Outside assessment tasks, generative AI tools may be used to support your learning. The AI in Education Canvas site contains a number of productive ways that students are using AI to improve their learning.
