Students will become competent in extraction procedures, treatment of trauma and complications following extractions and management of the orthodontic patient.
Students will develop through reflective practice of both clinical skills and application of knowledge obtained from teaching from previous units into the clinical setting.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Teaching methods include:
Summative assessment
There is one summative assessment in this unit:
1. Paediatric & Orthodontic Skills OSCE
Students must pass the assessment by achieving a minimum mark of 40%.
Formative assessment and progression to graduation
Students must satisfy all engagement requirements and successfully complete all 'must pass' assessments, as set out in the student progression requirements for Year 3 in the BSc Assessment Handbook.
Satisfactory and appropriate engagement with the programme will be determined by the Progress Committee which will normally meet termly. The committee will monitor engagement against the engagement and progression criteria, review performance in formative and 'must pass' assessments and monitor levels of professionalism.
A student who has not demonstrated satisfactory and appropriate engagement with the programme, nor reached a satisfactory level of professionalism (as determined by level of engagement and any other evidence relating to professionalism presented to the Progress Committee) will not be permitted to sit the End of Year 3 Summative Assessments and thus will not be able be progress to graduation.
In accordance with university regulations, students will be permitted two attempts at summative assessments in Year 3. Dependent on extenuating circumstances, a student may be permitted a second attempt at Year 3 or otherwise will be required to withdraw from the programme.
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. ORDS30010).
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 Faculty 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. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
