This Unit of Teaching will be offered as an Optional Unit as part of a modular distance learning programme. The programme will allow students to build Certificate and Diploma or Masters level qualifications by combining optional 20 credit units.
The Surgical Skills 2 Unit is a single element which builds on the previous surgical unit with the following general aims: -
To provide the students with the knowledge and clinical foundations to assess and, where appropriate, undertake the management of more challenging surgical cases such as the management of wisdom teeth, teeth with antral involvement, and medically compromised patients.
Students will obtain a knowledge and understanding of the following:
The student will acquire the skills and attributes necessary:
Teaching will use a blended learning approach delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous activities. Students will be expected to engage with all learning.
A range of teaching are used in the unit including:
This Unit will have two summative assessments:
1. Written coursework assessment of 2,000 words (50%)
2. Final written (multiple short answer) examination of 90minutes duration (50%)
All assessments must be passed ≥ 50% and there is no compensation between the individual assessments.
Formative assessment will include:
Feedback will be provided at the study days as small group tutorials and individual performance.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. ORDSM0035).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the University Workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
