Written Exams: Either four (4) or five (5) written examinations, including the final, will be given for this course. Changes to the total number of tests may be made as needed at the discretion of the instructor. Each written exam may be comprehensive from the first class session, with the greatest emphasis placed on the new material presented since the previous exam.
Water bottles, cell phones, calculators or computers are not allowed during examinations. Possession of any of these devices during an exam will be construed as academic dishonesty and will be dealt with accordingly.
Laboratory Evaluations: One lab exam will be given in conjunction with the written exam covering osteology. It will be a landmark recognition exercise whereby the students will identify anatomical landmarks of the skull. This will be counted as a separate test grade. Laboratory Exercise: Students will select the correct natural teeth necessary to utilize in placing pit & fissure sealants, and for practicing amalgam polishing. After evaluation of selected teeth by the Instructor, they will be mounted in dental stone*. Following completion of Dental Anatomy, they will be used in DNHY 3012, Dental Hygiene 3 for instruction and initial practice of the placement of pit and fissure sealants, amalgam polishing, and ultrasonic scaling techniques. They may also be utilized in DNHY 4032, Dental Hygiene 4 for instruction and initial practice with the prophy jet.
* Selection of appropriate teeth for mounting will be done on the student's own time. For Fall 2010 requirements, students will select 3 molars and 2 premolars acceptable for placing pit and fissure sealants, . All teeth will be mounted in stone for use in clinical training for sealant placement and amalgam polishing in following semesters of clinical training
Homework Assignments: Homework assignments will be given for each chapter of the textbook. Homework assignments are due on the day that the chapter is begun. No late papers will be accepted. It is expected that the student will complete this work in conjunction with reading of the assigned chapters prior to classroom discussion of the topic. This will facilitate the students capacity for understanding and discussion during the class session(s). Students are encouraged to register online and utilize the Student Resource site offered in conjunction with the text at: http:evolve.elsevier.com
As the daily course schedule is subject to change, it should be understood that regardless of the date, whenever a new chapter of study is begun, the homework assignment will be due at the start of that class period.
At the conclusion of the course, all homework sheets will be returned in the folder provided. Failure to turn in ALL homework sheets will result in an averaged grade of zero for the homework assignments necessary for the final grade computations.
Final Course Evaluation: The lab exercise (teeth selection and mounting) and combined homework grade (homework papers will be averaged for one collective score ) will be averaged together to count as 10% of the final course grade. The 4 or 5 written exams, inclusive of the final, will be weighted equally and comprise the remaining 90% of the final course grade.
Students missing an exam due to illness will be allowed to make up the exam on the day of their return to school. No grade higher than a 90 will be given for make-up examinations. Students will be allowed to make up only one (1) exam per semester. This does not include the Final Exam. Examples: Lab. Exercise (mounting teeth): Grade = 100 Homework Papers ( Grades will be averaged): Final grade = 98 Average = 198 ÷ 2 = 99
Exam 1 = 92 Lab Practical = 86 Test Average = 530 ÷ 6 = 88.33 Exam 2 = 90 Exam 4 = 82 Exam 3 = 86 Final = 94
To calculate 10%: 99 x 1 = 99 To calculate 90%: 88.33 x 9 = 794.99 THEN: 794.99 + 99 = 848.99 848.99 ÷ 10 = 84.89 Final Course Grade = 85 / B
GRADING SCALE: A grade of "C" is required for successful completion of this course. A = 92-100 C = 75-82 B = 83-91 D = 65-74 (Constitutes Failure of Course in Dental Hygiene)
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT During the semester you will be expected to attend a minimum of two (2) professional presentations outside of regularly scheduled dental hygiene courses. You will develop a portfolio including the following information: 1) certificates of attendance (if provided); 2) dates, locations and hours of attendance; 3) presenter (including all professional titles and certifications); 4) copies of all course notes/materials provided. This portfolio will continue to be developed as you progress through the Dental Hygiene Program. It is expected that upon successful completion of the requirements of the Dental Hygiene program, and following graduation, this portfolio will provide an accurate assessment of extra-curricular professional development for the individual.
COLLECTION OF EXTRACTED TEETH
These collected teeth will be utilized to construct models of quadrants of the mouth. The models will be used in Dental Anatomy for tooth recognition and identification, as well as in future Dental Hygiene courses as a learning tool for Pit & Fissure Sealant placement and for practice of ultrasonic scaler usage and techniques.
You will be responsible for contacting the dentist(s) of your choice to request their participation in this project. The office that will be helping you with this assignment should be provided with the following:
1 gallon or half-gallon juice type container with large opening or mouth (transparent or semi-transparent is preferable)
Fill the container(s) provided from ½ to 3/4 full with the following solution: 1 part unscented household bleach to 10 parts water
Teeth presented in formaldehyde will not be accepted!
Ex: 1 cup bleach to or ½ cup bleach to 10 cups of water 5 cups water
The jug/container should be labeled as follows: Your name ( 940/397-4764) the above # is for MSU Midwestern State University Department of Dental Hygiene
The label should then be completely covered with tape to prevent accidental spills from causing it to become illegible.
Please remember that you are now representatives of the MSU Dental Hygiene Dept. You should approach the office personnel that will be helping you with the utmost courtesy and consideration. At the completion of this course it will be expected that a thank-you note will be sent by you to the people/offices that have helped you to fulfill this project.
Attendance is critical in order to achieve the maximum benefits of this course. Reviewing notes and the reading assignments without active participation in the course's clinical activities will not permit the student to adequately meet course objectives. Therefore, MORE THAN 2 ABSENCES FOR ANY REASON WILL RESULT IN THE FINAL COURSE GRADE BEING LOWERED ONE FULL LETTER GRADE. In cases of extreme illness and/or hospitalization, individual decisions may be made.
Two (2) tardies will be the equivalent of 1 absence.
Students are responsible for all material presented in lecture as well as assigned reading. It is the student's responsibility to obtain any handouts or notes missed in class.
RECORDING OF CLASS LECTURES Taping of class lectures will be permitted, but ONLY with PRIOR APPROVAL of instructor.
PHONE USE Cell phone use (texting or verbal) is extremely disruptive to your fellow classmates and to the faculty teaching your course. Therefore the use of cell phones will not be tolerated, FOR ANY REASON. If you utilize your cell phone it will be confiscated for the remainder of the scheduled day. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave the classroom and will be required to meet with the faculty and the chair of the Dental Hygiene Dept. In case of emergencies, please notify spouses, family and friends to contact you via the program secretary at 397-4764.

ETHICS AND PERSONAL VALUES The following is excerpted from Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist, 9th Ed, by Esther M. Wilkins, Chapter 1: "Each dental hygienist represents the entire profession to the patient being served. The dental hygienist's expressed or demonstrated attitudes toward dentistry, dental hygiene, and other health professions, as well as toward health services and preventive measures, will affect the subsequent attitude of the patient toward other dental hygienists and dental hygiene care in general." ....."A dental hygienist may be involved in a variety of moral, ethical, and legal situations as part of the daily routine."
MSU COHSHS STUDENT CONDUCT APPEALS COMMITTEE
All Midwestern State University (MSU) students may legitimately appeal a course grade if: 1) the student has not been evaluated according to the same criteria as his or her classmates, or 2) an error has been made in grading and/or posting (MSU Student Handbook, p. 37). In addition, the Office of the Dean of Students has the responsibility to enforce standards of conduct for students as outlined in the MSU Student Handbook (p. 70-80).
When enrolled in the college of Health Sciences and Human Services (COHSHS), students are often assigned to community agencies, such as health care facilities, social service agencies, or athletic environments, as part of their academic process. During these experiences, the student is expected to behave in a manner required of professionals working in this environment. COHSHS students may also be required to successfully complete a licensing/certification process following graduation. As a result, students in these programs are often held to a different academic and/or behavioral standard than students in other MSU programs. For example, students may no be allowed to progress in a program if they have been unsuccessful (D or F) in a certain number of courses in the major. In these circumstances, COHSHS faculty and administration, all of whom have had similar professional experience, may make decisions which negatively impact students" programmatic progress.
COHSHS students have a right to a review of decisions made by the program faculty, which prevent individuals from progressing in their program in a timely manner. However, those who participate in the review must understand the context of the professions involved. Therefore, issues concerning the professional conduct of students in the COHSHS will NOT be brought to the University Grade Committee, but to the COHSHS Student Conduct Appeals Committee. Specifically, the COHSHS Student Conduct Appeals Committee will review faculty decisions related to: • Student conduct in a clinical experience, internship, or other work-related environment that negatively impact the student's academic progress. This conduct may include behavior which is prohibited by licensing and/or professional standards or departmental policy. • Student removal from a program because of a) professional conduct issues, or b) failure to maintain academic standards required specifically by the program* SEE COHSHS WEB SITE FOR A COMPLETE COPY OF THIS POLICY
