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 July 5th 2016 and to the THIRD YEAR APPRENTICE group on August 15th 2016 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 discrection of RMIT, in this event notification will be provided to your student email); FT2 - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday DT3 - Two-week block release Practical classes will be delivered in the simulated environment at RMIT where the Teacher will provide demonstration and assistance as you engage in the following techniques: Laser weldingSoldering 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 - Join alloy structure (either technique as above)

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) footwear Hair to be contained by tying back or in appropriate hair cover.No artificial fingernails to be worn The 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 tape All 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 CA (Competency Achieved) or NYC (Not Yet Competent) according to the assessment guidelines outlined in the practical exercise book Join Alloy structures using: LASER WELDING SOLDERING 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 - Select one of the techniques as above 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 - Join Alloy Structures (soldering) The theory exam will be conducted under supervision at RMIT under exam conditions. THEORY EXAM - Join Alloy Structures, pass mark 60%
Assessment Matrix
To achieve a grade of CA (Competency Achieved) for the unit Join Alloy Structures HLTDT511C/DENT5263C you are required to obtain a pass result for all of the following theoretical and practical assessments. PRAC EXAM - Join Alloy Structures (soldering) FT2 - 27 & 28th July 2016, DT3 - Block beginning Monday 15th August and finishing 26th August 2016 THEORY EXAM - Join Alloy Structures - pass mark 60% FT2 - July 27th - July 28th 2016 @ 9am, DT3 - Monday 15th August and finishing 26th August 2016 @ 9am Failure to complete any of the above listed tasks/assessments will result in an NYC (not yet competent) result for unit Join Alloy Structures HLTDT511C/DENT5263C. 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 re-enrolment. (The assessment process must be finalised and a result entered by November 18 2016)
