3 Practical Assessment

Assessment Title
Clinical Practice Assessment

Task Description

There are two 3 hour clinical practice sessions per week. Clinical sessions include:

Peer learning activities designed to consolidate, apply and extend the theory learnt in years 1 and 2 into clinical practice.

Examination and treatment of dental hygiene patients. Placement sites may include:

  • CQUniversity Oral Health Clinic
  • SACCR at CQUniversity Health Clinic
  • Residential Care Facilities
  • Oral Health Education at child care centres, schools, community health centres, community groups
  • Private Hospitals
  • Private Dental Clinics
  • Specialist Dental Clinics
  • Public Health Districts

A list of contacts and placement site addresses is at the bottom of the Google Drive Student Roster (link on unit Moodle page).

There are three components in this Practical Assessment. Each component must be passed in order to pass the assessment.


Component 1 Safety Audit Task:

Students will undergo a safety audit during the Tuesday clinical session in Week 5.

The safety audit is an assessment of your basic hygiene clinical skills to ensure you are safe to commence treatment on patients from the general public.

Students are graded against a criterion-referenced rubric. Students must achieve a satisfactory score in all criteria to pass the safety audit.

Re-attempt:

Re-attempt is where you are given a second opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of one or more of the unit’s learning outcomes before you can progress to new learning or participate in subsequent learning activities.

If you do not pass the safety audit, you will be given an opportunity to re-attempt the safety audit within a week. Note that only one opportunity to do a re-attempt will be given. If you do not pass the re-attempt, you will be unable to continue clinical practice in ORAL12003.


Component 2 Clinical Performance:

A criterion-referenced analytical assessment rubric for evaluation of student performance of procedures is provided in the Online Real-time Assessment System (ORAS). ORAS records all work-integrated learning experiences, including a number of assessed student-client interactions and performance of procedures. Placement supervisors are required to complete an entry into ORAS for each student-client interaction assessed.

Each student-client interaction is graded on a rubric, which will reflect a grade of Not Yet Competent (0), Approaching Competent (1), Competent (2), and Highly Competent (3) for each procedure part (see example below). An average grade is given at the end of each student-client interaction assessment for all procedures completed.

In each student-client interaction assessment there are also Critical Competencies. A Not Yet Competent (NYC) in one or more of the Critical Competencies results in a mark of 0 overall for that student-client interaction.

The data is collated over the term to monitor performance and as a “log” of the procedures and student-client assessments completed by the student. The unit teaching team will assess the data aggregated in ORAS over the period of the term to form a longitudinal comprehensive picture of the achievement and development of competence by the student.

Summative assessment for this component commences Monday of Week 4. Prior to that, clinical performance is completed on a formative basis.

In order to achieve a grade of pass in this component, you are required to achieve a minimum average score of Competent (2).

Re-attempt:

Re-attempt is where you are given a second opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of one or more of the unit’s learning outcomes.

If you achieve a minimum average score of 1.8-1.99, you will be offered a re-attempt:

  • Three additional student-client interactions will be offered on a mutually agreeable day.
  • This task is to be completed no later than one week before the release of grades.
  • You must achieve an average minimum score of 1.8 in ALL three student-client interactions.
  • These additional sessions will be offered at the CQUniversity Oral Health Clinic based in Rockhampton. It is your responsibility to arrange transport and accommodation if needed to attend these additional sessions.
  • Note that only one opportunity to do a re-attempt will be given.
  • If you do not pass the re-attempt, you will be unable to pass ORAL12003.


Component 3 Attendance:

Attendance at clinical placements is compulsory. You are required to attend a minimum of 90% of rostered clinical placement days. This allows you approximately 2 days of absence without penalty. Absences are required to be supported with a medical certificate or negotiated with the Unit Coordinator/s in advance. Absences are to be made up at operational convenience. The 2-week intensive requires 100% attendance.

A pass for satisfactory attendance is defined as 100% attendance at the 2-week intensive, as well as maintaining and fulfilling the 90% clinical placement attendance for the days rostered during the term. Not meeting attendance requirements may result in a placement outstanding until the next available unit offering, which may delay your progress through the course and graduation.

Who to contact if you are sick: The unit coordinator (via email) and Libby Warlow (via phone).

If you require an extension for this assessment please refer to the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework)

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?
