Overview of Assessment
To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency, the underpinning knowledge and the skills application. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of the competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Assessment | |
Assessment: Task 1 |
Undertake Clinical placement and skills evidence record – observation checklist (4 patients – 2 x partial, 2 x full) |
Assessment: Task 2 |
Develop a Reflective journal / Photographic portfolio |
Assessment: Task 3 |
Assignment – you are to develop practice manual focusing on communication plan and checklist |
In order to meet the requirements of the Australian Dental Council (ADC) accreditation of this program, students are required to undertake an assessment by external assessors.
You will not be given an opportunity to undertake this assessment until you have been deemed satisfactory in clinical competencies by your clinical demonstrators.
The proposed assessment date is outlined below, assessment dates will be based upon availability of patients (clients) within the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne.
The assessment will be undertaken in two parts;
- November 3, 2017- Case presentations to a panel of external assessors (using 1 - F/F case and 1 - Partial denture case that have been deemed as assessment cases, with noguidance from anyone else, throughout all stages of the treatment), you will present the treatment that you undertook for the clients and respond to questions from the panel. The presentation must include a full case history as well as photographic evidence of the treatment.
- November 10, 2017 - External assessors will assess the work undertaken in the clinical environment at the check visit, you may be asked into the clinical booth at the time to discuss the treatment. This will be at the discretion of the assessors.
Throughout both aspects of this assessment, you will be assessed against the Professional Competencies of the Newly Qualified Dental Prosthetist as outlined in your clinical logbook and on the following website:
ADC graduate professional competencies
To be deemed competent (CA) - a Satisfactory (S) result in all aspects of this assessment by the external assessors is required.
If you are deemed Not Satisfactory (NS) in any aspect of this assessment, your result will be taken to the course advisory committee (CAC) for discussion.
If you receive a final grade of Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will be required to enrol in this unit again and incur the fees associated.

Grading available are:
Grade level Competency Level
CA Competency Achieved -The learner will be able to apply facts, rules and standard solutions to achieve a predictable task or solve a problem.
NYC Not Yet Competent
-Although the learner exhibits access to a limited range of facts and rules, the learner has difficulty applying these facts and rules to a familiar task.
DNS: Did not submit assessment

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 Blackboard 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.
e-Submission:
The University is obliged to obtain clear You authorisation on all assessable works. RMIT’s e-Submission process provides a valid authorisation equivalent to a signature on a paper coversheet allowing You to submit assessment works electronically.
The e-Submission process requires that specific wording and a link to the assessment declaration is included in your assessment documentation in order to comply with legal and statutory obligations, and can be used with all RMIT teaching technologies, including;
- Blackboard
- PebblePad
- WebLearn
- RMIT’s Google Apps for Education (Gmail, Drive, Sites etc.)
The use of fully electronic submissions saves significant time for both staff and You.
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 Blackboard 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 class, 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.
Refer to RMIT University Policies and Procedures, verify for most recent version.
