Course Expectations:
The following is a
summary of suggested minimal cumulative goals for achievement
in 3rd year clinical restorative dentistry. All procedures
completed during the 3rd year in RES D 630 and ResD635 will
be credited toward 4th year minimum suggested goals. These
goals will generally be met though a combination of comprehensive
patient care and efficient use of clinic sessions.
Examination/Grading Policies: Grades will be given at the end
of Summer Quarter based upon a cumulative composite of the
following four factors:
- Clinic Sessions (attendance): 30%
- Restorative Points (quantitative): 30%
- Daily Faculty Grade (qualitative): 30%
- Course Director Evaluation: 10%
- Competency
Examinations are not separately graded, but successful
completion of all three examinations
is required for graduation. Students will be given
a progress report at the end of each quarter.
Effective
Winter Quarter 2007, completion of on-line course evaluation
is a requirement of this course. Failure to comply will result
in an "Incomplete" grade being assigned.
