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.
1. Oral Disease
The Oral Disease course element will consist of:
* 39 Oral Medicine/Maxillofacial Surgery/Pathology/Radiology/Special Care Dentistry lectures. For this lecture programme we would expect 1-2 hours pre-reading and 1-2 hours follow up per lecture/ topic teaching.
2. Orthodontics
The main body of the teaching takes place on the clinic and is led by one or two supervisors who teach the same group through years 4 and 5, following introductory teaching in year 3. Teaching in this element is carried out by an integrated combination of:
The final Unit mark is an aggregate of the following assessments:
Both assessments must be passed. The standard set pass mark will be scaled to 50%.
eAssessment in Oral Disease - The Oral Disease eAssessment takes place in term 4.2. It comprises a range of question types amounting to 80 marks (approximately) and lasts 60 minutes.
eAssessment in Orthodontics - The Orthodontic eAssessment takes place in term 4.3. It comprises a range of question types amounting to 75 marks (approximately) and lasts 45 minutes.
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. ORDS30005).
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.
