Assessment summary

This is a unit integrated and aggregated with results from semester 1 SDDM5415 Integrated Dentistry for a full year assessment result combining SDDM 5415 + 5425 units.

For Semester 1 (SDDM 5415):

- Theory Exam is worth 100% of the semester 1 SDDM 5415 result and 20% of the full year combined SDDM 5415+5425 result

For Semester 2 (Combined SDDM 5415+5425)

- Theory Exam is worth 20% of the semester 2 SDDM 5425 result and 20% of the full year combined SDDM 5415+5425 result

The semester 1 theory exam result will be aggregated (combined) with your semester 2 theory exam result from SDDM 5425 to calculate a full year theory assessment result.

Results from assessments within this unit will contribute to your full year result according to the assessment blueprint: See 2022 ICDA Assessment Blueprint:

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

Semester 1 - 1 x theory exam for SDDM 5415 that contributes 20% to the full year assessment result.
Semester 2 – 1 x theory exam for SDDM 5425 that contributes 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) and is considered separately from results in other assessments such as the Clinical case presentation and your clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results. A pass result of 50% or more when combining both Sem 1 and 2 theory results must be achieved separately from clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results in order to pass this unit.

B. Clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results from Semester 1 + 2 contributes 40% to the full year assessment result

Semester 1: Your results will not show a mark for clinical work and continuous sessional assessment at conclusion of semester 1 for SDDM 5415. A review of progress will occur and feedback will be provided to students whose 1st semester performance in this assessment component indicates they are at potentially at risk of achieving an unsatisfactory result for the year. Feedback on your performance, strategies to improve and support in development of a voluntary remedial study plan will be offered for these students.

All clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results from Semester 1 will be carried over and combined with Semester 2 clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results to achieve a full year result for this assessment component within SDDM 5425.

Semester 2: The full year of clinical work and continuous sessional assessment results will be calculated at conclusion of Semester 2 from clinical sessions and procedures completed during DMD 4 (Sem 1 + 2) integrated and acute care clinic appointments (not specialty or preio clinics). This result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark for both Semester 1 and 2 within clinical work and continuous sessional assessment) when combined as full year result.

The clinical work and continuous sessional assessment result is considered separately from theory assessment results, hence a pass result in the clinical work and continuous sessional assessment component must be achieved separately from theory assessment results in order to pass this unit and will be calculated from:

- Continuous sessional assessment (CCA) results (25% 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:

Knowledge and Understanding

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 work logbook results (15% of full yr result)

The clinical logbook results will be derived from all clinical procedures completed during DMD 4 integrated and acute care clinic sessions. Grades are provided for each procedure completed and minimum clinical benchmarks in terms of quantity (number) and quality (grade) of procedures completed to demonstrate required clinical competence to pass this unit will be advised during semester 1.

C. Integrated Case presentation – Unseen case assessment is completed in 2nd Semester as part of SDDM 5425 and is worth 20% of the full year result.

Semester 1: A compulsory formative version of this exam will be completed in Semester 1 exam period. This will not contribute to your Semester 1 or 2 ICDA assessed result. It is however an opportunity to complete this assessment, receive feedback on your performance within a formative exam environment as preparation for the Semester 2 summative exam of the same format.
Semester 2: The Integrated Case presentation – Unseen case is summative and contributes to 20% of your result for SDDM 5425 and the combined SDDM 5415+5425 full yr result.

The above assessments A, B, C all require an independent pass result when assessed at end of Semester 2 to enable you to meet requirements of this unit. Failure to achieve a pass in any of these assessment components, risks failing this unit and not meeting requirements of DMD 4. A competent standard across theory, clinical and Integrated case presentation elements must be achieved to meet the requirements of the full year assessment of SDDM5415 and 5425.

Note: For the Semester 2 summative Integrated case presentation – Unseen case assessment, remediation and reassessment will be offered for students who achieve an unsatisfactory result. You must be available up to and including Wed 23rd December 2022 of the reassessment period to complete any re assessment required . 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.

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

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.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

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 8 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 160-200 hours of student effort in total.

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. In areas of: Tooth Conservation + Cariology, Endodontics, Professional Practice and Ethics, Population Oral Health, Dental Trauma: Develop knowledge in and understand the scientific methods relevant to biological, behavioural and social sciences. Apply this knowledge to understand the complex interactions between nutrition, general health, medications, systemic diseases and their impact on oral health and disease. Combine this with clinical skills for the provision of patient-centered care as part of the dental team by being flexible, adaptable, and working collaboratively with other oral health practitioners.
LO2. Demonstrate respect for all members of our community, with an appreciation of the diversity of human background and cultural values and whilst doing so comply with the ethical principles and legal responsibilities involved in the provision of dental care for individual patients, to communities and populations, practicing with personal and professional integrity, honesty and trustworthiness.
LO3. In the areas of Tooth Conservation + Cariology, Endodontics, Professional Practice and Ethics, Population Oral Health, Dental Trauma: Assess, interpret and provide integrated management of the complex needs of dental patients through sound clinical reasoning and provision of evidence based clinical care within the scope of practice, as defined by the national professional accrediting body; AHPRA
LO4. Educate patients, patients’ family or carers/guardians at all stages in their life, about the aetiology and prevention of oral disease using effective, culturally competent and evidence-based education and communication strategies to improve oral health and quality of life outcomes for patients given their oral health status
LO5. Develop the ability to evaluate evidence in a critical and scientific manner, apply clinical reasoning and judgement in a reflective practice approach, and engage in scientific methods and research to advance and integrate knowledge in clinical practice. Use this as a premise to demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning, with the ability to acquire and apply knowledge, develop existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and acquire new skills.
