Outcome #1:
Students will correctly
place a rubber dam on the
mandible by preparing,
placing and removing a 4hole rubber dam for work
on tooth # 30.
1. Placement/removal
procedure of a 4-hole molar
dam on a manbibular tooth
will be measured using
predetermined criteria and a
project competency
worksheet
1. This task is a required
competency and all students
must place and remove a 4-hole
rubber dam on tooth #30 in
order to pass the DA 119
course.
The students who completed
the course accomplished this
task, however, it became
apparent that students who
struggled with this task also
found it difficult to transfer
information from the cognitive
domain to the application or
hands-on domain with most of
the application tasks.
1. Students will be given more time to
practice the hands-on tasks with instructors.
To identify students who might have spatial
or coordination issues, the students will be
given directions to complete a series of
basic hands-on tasks. This information will
be shared during the program orientation 23 weeks prior to program start. The students
will practice these tasks for the first threefive weeks of the class, given extra time and
assistance if needed and then will be
evaluated, advised and a plan for
improvement developed between student
and instructor.
Will assess process fall 2012.
Effect on Program, Discipline
or Course
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please
summarize how and why in the
boxes below.
I feel the results demonstrate that
the outcomes are realistic,
appropriate, and are meeting the
goal of assisting the faculty in
curriculum planning and
assessment. I will not be revising
the outcomes.
