General Information

Overview

In Oral12002 you will work in a simulated environment to practise dental hygiene and restorative dentistry. You will study workplace health and safety, equipment maintenance and record management requirements, and develop skills in the prevention and management of dental caries (including root caries) and periodontal disease in the adult patient in a safe environment. In addition, you will further develop communication and interpersonal skills to prepare you for clinical practice.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites

Pre-requisites: (A pre-requisite is a unit you must study before you can enrol in the next associated unit. Most commonly, this is because the pre-requisite unit gives you the knowledge you need, in order to study the next unit.) HLTH12031 Community Engaged Learning andBIOH11006 Advanced Anatomy and Physiology andORAL11003 Oral Pathology and Diagnosis andORAL11004 Oral Anatomy andORAL11005 Dental Morphology and Microscopic Anatomy Co-requisites:(A co-requisite is a unit which has to be completed prior to or concurrently with another unit.) ORAL12001 Oral Disease Prevention and Management and ORAL12003 Oral Health Clinical Practice 1  

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

Assessment Grading

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Have Your Say

Feedback

Students want more time in the sim lab to practise clinical skills.

Recommendation

It is recommended that course changes in 2020 should include planning for additional time in the sim lab.

Feedback from Have Your Say

Feedback

Students noted that the dental radiography intensive session with a visiting radiographer needs improvement with organisation.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the unit coordinator revise the inclusion of an intensive session with a visiting radiographer and if included, the day should be organised by the unit coordinator.

Feedback from Have Your Say

Feedback

Students found that time allocation of supervisor to student in the sim lab is not evenly distributed.

Recommendation

It is recommended that a meeting amongst supervisors to help alleviate this issue should be organised by the unit coordinator to ensure all students receive appropriate feedback in a timely manner.

Feedback from Have Your Say

Feedback

Students advised that resources did not support learning effectively.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the unit coordinator should discuss the option of reintroducing lectures as part of this unit with the course coordinator and other staff members in this course.

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?

For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.

What can you do to act with integrity?
