Overview of Assessment

Assessment 1 - Clinical logbook

Assessment 2 - Case histories

Assessment 3 - Knowledge assessment

 

To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency, the underpinning knowledge and the skill application. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of the competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks. 

 


Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1 - Clinical placement / Clinical Logbook records.  Students must see a minimum of 2 edentulous 2 dentate patients in the clinical situation.

Assessment 2 - Portfolio case histories / class discussions / self reflection 

Assessment 3 - Knowledge based test.  This involves short answer questions, clinical scenarios and situational reflections to demonstrate critical thinking.

 Assessment Submission:

Turnitin

Turnitin is an online text-matching service which can be used to support academic integrity and address plagiarism. All submissions via Turnitin within Canvas include the relevant wording for the e-Submission authorisation process. You are to use Turnitin. To verify that the work submitted is their own work and referenced accordingly. This software will be used by all staff to ensure original work by You is checked at submission of the assessment.

 Good practice

  • Providing clear advice to you on the e-Submission process as part of their assessment expectations assists in ensuring that it is straightforward for RMIT You to submit work electronically.
  • You can submit non-electronic works via conversion by a digital scanner, i.e. paper-based assessments can be scanned and submitted for assessment via the e-Submission process.
  • Establishing a Turnitin assignment in Canvas is a quick way to provide an e-Submission process for a class group.

You must submit all assessment tasks electronically via blackboard as directed by their teacher.

You are not to email or hand assessment tasks to teachers in  corridor or cafeteria etc

 Late submission:

If you require an Extension of Submittable Work (assignments, reports or project work etc.) for 7 calendar days or less (from the original due date) and have valid reasons, you must complete and

Lodge an Application for Extension of Submittable Work (7 Calendar Days or less) form and lodge it with the Senior Educator/ Program Manager.

The application must be lodged no later than one working day before the official due date. You will be notified within no more than 2 working days of the date of lodgement as to whether the extension has been granted.

If you seek an Extension of Submittable Work for more than 7 calendar days (from the original due date) must lodge an Application for Special Consideration form under the provisions of the Special Consideration Policy, preferably prior to, but no later than 2 working days after the official due date.

Assignments submitted late without approval of an extension will not be accepted or marked.
