Teaching Schedule
As per your timetable located on Blackboard under the relevant Group - The class is scheduled for delivery to the second year NON-APPRENTICE group (FT2) on Tuesday July 12 and the third year APPRENTICE group (DT3) on Monday October 17 in the Lecture theatre of Building 154 RMIT (within the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne). Notification will be provided via student email if the date or location change. Following the delivery of the theory class, practical exercises will be undertaken in the laboratory. Class schedules are detailed in the timetables provided on Blackboard (subject to change at the discretion of RMIT, in this event notification will be provided to your student email); FT2 - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday DT3 - Block release Practical classes will be delivered in the simulated environment at RMIT where the Teacher will provide demonstration and assistance as you construct the following appliances. Full composite onlay on molarFull composite crown on central The TIER 2 exercises are made available if you complete all of the previous exercises and are seeking further practice prior to the assessments. The time guides for the TIER 2 exercises are reduced and require a ’self-managed approach’ to complete the exercise. TIER 2 - Full composite crown

Overview of Assessment
This unit is to be assessed in a simulated workplace and under the normal range of work conditions.
Practical exercises, presentation of competency assessment exercises & written tests are used.
Assessment Tasks
To undertake practical exercises and /or assessment students MUST present for the assessment process as follows: Please note these are also WH&S requirements for laboratory safety. In appropriate practical class attire (Protective clothing for legs - if shorts, must cover knees, lab coat, safety glasses)Fully covered in leather(not suede) footwearHair to be contained by tying back or in appropriate hair cover.No artificial fingernails to be wornThe wearing of henna is acceptable.Short, clean fingernails (no nail polish or artificial nails)No jewellery to be worn on the hands or wrists. Wedding rings or jewellery that cannot be removed for cultural reasons must be taped with an appropriate waterproof tapeAll cuts/ skin abrasions on the hands or wrists must be covered with a waterproof dressingA student that is non-compliant with any of the above requirements will not be permitted to undertake practical exercises or assessment at the scheduled time. The student will be rescheduled to undertake assessment at a later date. You will attempt the following practical exercises under supervision of the teacher and you will be graded with either a S (Satisfactory) or NYS (Not Satisfactory) according to the assessment guidelines outlined in the practical exercise book Full composite onlay on molarFull composite crown on central The TIER 2 exercises are made available if you complete all of the previous exercises and are seeking further practice prior to the assessments. The time guides for the TIER 2 exercises are reduced and require a ’self-managed approach’ to complete the exercise. If you attempt the following practical exercises you will be graded with either a CA (Competency Achieved) or NYC (Not Yet Competent) according to the assessment guidelines outlined in the practical exercise book TIER 2 - Full composite crown Upon completion of an exercise and prior to submission for assessment, all exercises undertaken in the practical classes will require you to provide a detailed reflection of your own work focussing on areas of the appliance that were successful as well as areas that could be improved upon next time. The practical exam will take place under supervision in the simulated working environment at RMIT. The exam will take place under exam conditions and you will be given details of the requirements and assessment guidelines in the practical book available in class and on BlackBoard. PRAC EXAM - Full composite crown The theory exam will be conducted under supervision at RMIT under exam conditions. THEORY EXAM - Construct indirect composite polymer fixed restorations - pass mark 60%
Assessment Matrix
To achieve a grade of CA (Competency Achieved) for the unit HLTDT516C/DENT5269C Construct indirect composite polymer fixed restorations you are required to obtain a pass result for all of the following theoretical and practical assessments. PRAC EXAM - Full Composite Crown - FT2: Tuesday 9th August 2016, DT3: Friday October 28 2016 THEORY EXAM - pass mark 60% - FT2: Tuesday 9th August 2016 @ 9am, DT3: Friday October 28 2016 @ 9am. Failure to complete any of the above listed tasks/assessments will result in an NYC (not yet competent) result for unit HLTDT516C/DENT5269C Construct indirect composite polymer fixed restorations. An NYC (not yet competent) result will be entered in the student record. This will result in non-completion of this unit of competence requiring re-enrolment incurring fees and a return to class work and completion of any relevant assessments at the time of the reenrolment. (The assessment process must be finalised and a result entered by November 25 2016)
