Effect on Course
In the boxes below, summarize
the methods used to assess course
outcomes during the last year.
In the boxes below, summarize
the results of your assessment
activities during the last year.
In the boxes below, summarize
how you are or how you plan to
use the results to improve student
learning.
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please
summarize how and why in the
boxes below:
Students will demonstrate their
understanding of radiographic
procedures by completing
laboratory exercises and exams
germane to the topic that will be
scored by the instructor
according to predetermined
rubrics distributed to students
prior to the lab and/or exam.
Students satisfactorily completed
four sets of bite-wing
radiographs, four sets of full
mouth radiographs, one set of
digital radiographs and
laboratory exercises designed to
measure comprehension and
understanding.
Will use online resources
(through Angel) to present
material and resources to
enhance learning. This will
contribute to more student
participation in classroom
discussions regarding the clinical
application of the information
presented.
No - This is course material that
is necessary for continuation in
the clinical portion of this
program and for eventual passage
of the national board licensing
examination for dental hygiene.
Students will demonstrate their
knowledge through written and
practical exams.
Instructors will evaluate student
answers on weekly quizzes, a
midtenn exam, and a
comprehensive final exam to
measure retention of infonnation.
Students completed 9 quizzes, a
midterm, and a final with a score
of75% or higher.
Conduct regular meetings with
lab and lecture instructors to
better coordinate lecture and lab
activities. Rewrite and update
exams to better reflect current
information and national board
exam format.
See above.

procedures.
d. Legal aspects of dental
radiography.
e. Safety factors and radiation
protection for patient and
ooerator.
Outcome#3
Application - The student will:
a. Understand the importance of
thorough patient assessment prior
to radiographic procedures.
b. Value the importance of
perfecting techniques that will
require the least exposure and the
greatest interpretive value.
c. Understand the importance of
processing techniques to achieve
a quality finished product.
d. Understand the importance of
patient instruction regarding
radiograohic orocedures.
Assessment Measures
Assessment Results
Students will demonstrate their
ability to apply these principles
by successful completion of
required clinical radiology
evaluations. Instructors will
evaluate student performance
using standard, published rubrics.
Students are required to complete
14 sets of radiographs in each
semester of their clinical rotation.
They are graded and receive
feedback. They must pass each
evaluation at 80%.
Page2
Use of Results
Students will be required to
receive more instruction and
feedback during their clinical
radiology rotation. This will
contribute to more complete
hands-on learning.
Effect on Course
This outcome could be
emphasized by requiring this
instruction to be noted on the
grading fonn.
