Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student evaluation of teaching survey
SIM session weekly content can be difficult to follow and needs updating.
It is recommended to review and further update the SIM weekly content to improve student engagement and contribute to the student learning experience.
Feedback from Student evaluation of teaching survey
Students indicated that the vital signs lesson needs to be more specific to Oral Health students.
It is recommended to review the Vital Signs pre-clinical session with a Nursing SME to ensure it is relevant to OHT clinical practice, and to conduct the pre-clinical practical training in this area as a joint initiative.
Feedback from Teaching team reflection and verbal student feedback
In 2023 additional communication modules, including clinical role-playing, were introduced. Feedback indicates students enjoyed these sessions.
It is recommended to continue communication modules, including a clinical role-playing session.
- Discuss the theoretical basis of oral health practice including patient assessment, examination, dental hygiene and dental restorative procedures
- Understand and apply the principles of infection control, workplace health and safety, record management and practice management
- Apply knowledge and skills in dental procedures including patient assessment, examination, dental hygiene and dental restorative procedures in the simulated environment
- Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills and professional attitudes required of an oral health therapist
- Recognise and act upon the legal, ethical and safeguarding issues involving dental practitioners and patients as defined by the relevant professional regulatory bodies in Australia and overseas
The learning outcomes of this unit are part of the overall learning outcomes in the BOralHlth course at CQUniversity. They will form part of the annual report documentation which is submitted to the Australian Dental Council for accreditation.

Uniform and clinical attire:
All students are to comply with clinical and uniform requirements of the oral health clinic as promulgated.
All students must comply with Queensland Health and Work-Integrated Learning mandatory requirements. Students must abide by infection control policies, guidelines and procedures at each clinical placement. All mandatory requirements for clinical practice must be met before and during the term. Failure to comply will lead to withdrawal from the clinical practice and failure in the Unit.
1 Portfolio
There are four components in this Practical Assessment. Each component must be passed in order to pass the assessment.
Component 1 Pre-Clinical Safety Audit:
Students will undergo safety audits during Week 12.
The safety audit is an assessment of your hygiene and simple restorative dentistry clinical skills to ensure you are safe to commence treatment on patients from the general public.
Students are graded against a criterion-referenced rubric. Students must achieve a satisfactory score in all criteria to pass the safety audit.
Re-attempt:
Re-attempt is where you are given a second opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of one or more of the unit’s learning outcomes before you can progress to new learning or participate in subsequent learning activities.
If you do not pass the safety audit, you will be given an opportunity to re-attempt the safety audit within a week. Note that only one opportunity to do a re-attempt will be given. If you do not pass the re-attempt, you will be unable to pass ORAL11006.
Pre-Clinical Practice Formative Assessment (ORAS):
Pre-clinical sessions are held twice weekly throughout term. The activities in these sessions are designed to introduce you to practice as an Oral Health Therapist. These activities will prepare you for your pre-clinical safety audit in Week 12.
A criterion-referenced analytical assessment rubric for evaluation of student performance of procedures is provided in the Online Real-time Assessment System (ORAS). ORAS records all work-integrated learning experiences, including a number of assessed student-client interactions and performance of procedures. Placement supervisors are required to complete an entry into ORAS for each student-client interaction assessed.
Each student-client interaction is graded on a rubric, which will provide formative feedback to students via a grade of Not Yet Competent (0), Approaching Competent (1), Competent (2), and Highly Competent (3) for each procedure part (see example below). An average grade is given at the end of each student-client interaction assessment for all procedures completed.
In each student-client interaction assessment, there are also Critical Competencies. A Not Yet Competent (NYC) in one or more of the Critical Competencies results in a mark of 0 overall for that student-client interaction.
The data is collated over the term to monitor performance and as a “log” of the procedures and student-client assessments completed by the student. The unit teaching team will assess the data aggregated in ORAS over the period of the term to form a longitudinal comprehensive picture of the achievement and development of competence by the student.
This ongoing feedback via ORAS is to be used by students throughout the term and as preparation for the safety audit tasks.
Procedure relating to ORAS omissions or errors:
Students are responsible for checking ORAS daily. If there are any errors or omissions, they should contact the clinical assessor within 2 working days. If the clinical assessor does not resolve the issue within a further 2 working days, the student should contact the unit coordinator.
To maintain academic integrity, modifications or additions after more than 5 working days will not be considered.
Component 2 Clinical Placement:
During your clinical placement throughout the term, you will complete a series of tasks designed to introduce you to clinical practice as an Oral Health Therapist:
-
Completing dental assisting duties
-
Completion of an observational workbook
-
Creating Oral Hygiene Videos and Resources
These activities are pass/fail. Students must complete all tasks to pass this component.
Component 3 Attendance:
Attendance at clinical and pre-clinical placements is compulsory. You are required to attend a minimum of 90% of clinical and pre-clinical placement days. This allows you approximately 2-3 days of absence without penalty. Absences are required to be supported with a medical certificate or negotiated with the Unit Coordinator/s in advance.
Note that ALL tasks must be completed for the term. If you miss a session, it is your responsibility to contact the unit coordinator and make an arrangement to complete the missed tasks. Absences are to be made up at operational convenience.
A pass for satisfactory attendance is defined as maintaining and fulfilling the 90% clinical and pre-clinical placement attendance for the days rostered during the term. Not meeting attendance requirements may result in a placement outstanding until the next available unit offering, which may delay your progress through the course and graduation.
Who to contact if you are sick: The unit coordinator (via email) and Stacey Billinghurst (via phone).
If you require an extension for this assessment please refer to the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Component 4 Reflective Blog:
Self-reflection is an important practice for personal and professional development. You will be required to write daily self-reflective entries in your ePortfolio based on your work-integrated learning experiences (SIM and clinical placements).
- Include a brief summary of procedures OR A brief summary of placement.
- Which procedures were performed well? OR Expectation of learning on the placement.
- What procedures could be improved? OR What did you learn today on placement?
- Strategies for improvement OR Strategies to enhance learning on placement.
- What did I learn today?
The completion of the personal reflective blog is a compulsory assessment, and each entry must be completed to a satisfactory standard. A separate reflection entry for each placement day is to be recorded. Reflections must be submitted by midnight each Sunday at the end of each week you are rostered at a work-integrated learning placement. For example, if you are in SIM Wednesday and Thursday, then Clinical Placement on Friday in Week 8, you are to write an entry for Wednesday, a separate entry for Thursday, and a separate entry for Friday. All are to be submitted by midnight Sunday at the end of Week 8.
.
Assessment Due Date: Weekly by midnight Sunday night.
Return Date to Students: Results will be added to final assessments, however feedback will be ongoing.
Assessment rubric for reflections:
Assessment rubric for Oral Hygiene videos:
- Apply knowledge and skills in dental procedures including patient assessment, examination, dental hygiene and dental restorative procedures in the simulated environment
- Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills and professional attitudes required of an oral health therapist
- Recognise and act upon the legal, ethical and safeguarding issues involving dental practitioners and patients as defined by the relevant professional regulatory bodies in Australia and overseas
2 In-class Test(s)
During the exam period, you will complete an in class short-answer assessment. This is a short answer assessment relating to all lecture/tutorial content from the entire term, as well as content from the oral presentations and any clinical workbooks. You will have 3 hours to complete the assessment.
You will be given an answer booklet in which to write your responses to the exam questions. At the end of the assessment, your answer booklet must be returned to the assessor. These in-class tests are closed book, so the only items you will be allowed to have on you are pens (black ink only) and your answer booklet. Only those answers that have been written in your answer booklet will be marked.
NOTE: You are also able to bring your own noise-cancelling head/earphones if you prefer.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
