3 REQUIRED TEXTBOOK Phinney, Donna J. and Halstead, Judy H. (2000). Dental Assisting A Comprehensive Approach- 2nd addition Delmar Thompson Learning. ANDRAGOGICAL METHODOLOGY This course meets weekly, for lecture and laboratory experiences. Each session consists of two hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory experiences. The student is responsible for self-directed learning and must be an active, continual learner. Students are responsible for all information outlined in the course syllabus whether or not presented in class. The student is expected to attend class, read assignments, answer objectives, and completes other learning assignments and laboratory activities in pursuit of the program s aims and objectives of the individual units of study. Assignments must meet deadlines established by the faculty or they will be regarded as unsatisfactory. As a self-reliant, autonomous, and independent learner, the student will interact in the teaching/learning process with the faculty in class. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty WILL NOT be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to the following: 1. Cheating - the act of looking on another person s paper or computer to obtain an answer during an examination. Any talking during an exam will be considered an attempt to get an answer from another student. 2. Plagiarism - to take and use as one s own, the ideas or writings of another, without giving that person credit. 3. The submission for credit, someone s work as your own. 4. Making written notes or taping examination questions during test review. According to the Lamar State College-Orange Handbook, ANY of these methods of academic dishonesty are grounds for dismissal from the institution. CRITICAL THINKING Critical thinking is a process involving higher thinking skills. These skills include, but are not limited to, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of factual information. Lamar State College-Orange advances critical thinking Skills (LSC-O ACTS) through assignments of varying natures within the course that are designed to challenge and improve the student s critical thinking processes. In this course, DNTA 1353, Dental Assisting Applications, students will be given the opportunity to learn the hands on techniques for all the specialties in the dental field. They will be challenged with at least one question per exam that will demonstrate the student s mastery of

4 analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of a particular subject. A well cultivated critical thinker: Raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; Gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; Comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; Thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and Communicates effectively with others figuring out solutions to complex problems. Paul, Richard & Elder, Linda (2005). The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts & Tools. Dillon Beach: The Foundation for Critical Thinking Evaluation methods 1. Examinations will be based on course and unit objectives. 2. There will be three unit exams, a final, and a laboratory/daily grade all of which will be averaged together. Laboratory/daily grades are determined by averaging procedural evaluations, class participation and daily quizs.all five grades will have equal value. A final course grade of 75% is necessary for the student to pass this course and progress in the program. 3. Students are strongly encouraged to take exams as scheduled. However, in the event that an exam is missed, the student is required to notify the instructor BEFORE the exam and give the reason for the absence. A make-up exam may be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor. The make-up exam must be taken within one week after the original examination. In the event of a make-up exam there will be an automatic ten point reduction on exam. There will be no make-up for a practical exam. Exams are given at the LSC-O Testing Center and are scheduled by the student. Results of exam grades will be withheld until all students have taken the exam. The final examination must be taken, with no provision for make-up. It is the student s responsibility to obtain all missed material and make-up any missed daily (lab) work. 4. If a student fails a unit examination, he/she is expected to make an appointment within one week after the examination with the course instructor. At that time, the student will review the examination and, with the assistance of the instructor, identify strategies to improve examination performance. Any student can review the examination with the course instructor within two weeks after the examination. 5. Exams will be given on scheduled dates (refer to course calendar). Dates are subject to change upon instructor s discretion. 6. Letter grades will be assigned as follows: A B C D

5 F Policy on a Grade Incomplete The grade of I may be given when any requirement of the course, including the final examination is not completed with instructor approval. Arrangements to complete deficiencies in a course must be made with the instructor. Incomplete work must be finished within the next long semester. If not, the Admissions and Records Office must change an I grade to the grade of F. The course must then be repeated, if credit is desired. An I grade also automatically becomes an F if the student registers for the course before removing the deficiencies and receiving a grade change. The instructor may record the grade of F for a student who is absent from the final examination and/or is not passing the course. Make-up Policy Make-up exams are allowed at the discretion of the instructor; see # 3 above. There is no provision for make-up of the final examination. Make-up exams will automatically receive a deduction of ten (10) points from the exam grade. ATTENDANCE Students who are absent from lecture or lab jeopardize their ability to meet the objectives of the Dental Assistant Program and requirements of the American Dental Association. The student is expected to be present and on time for lecture and lab at all times. 1. If a student is not present for any lecture or lab they will be counted absent for that day. This absence will result in a 0 for the daily grade. If a student must leave lecture or lab early, it will count as an absence. 2. If a student is late for lecture or lab the instructor has the authority to refuse entry to that lecture or lab and it will be counted as an absence. If a student leaves early and misses a quiz a 0 will be recorded as a daily grade and there will be no provision for make-up. 3. All medical, dental, and personal appointments must be scheduled for times when the student is not in lecture or lab. PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR 1. A positive attitude is essential in all healthcare professions. 2. To be pleasant and agreeable is essential. 3. Cooperation and loyalty with and to fellow classmates and faculty is necessary for harmony in the class. 4. The character and conduct in Dental Assisting students must be without question. You are representing a professional health team and LSC-O.

6 5. Students should show respect and courtesy to all faculty and staff. This applies whether in the classroom, laboratory, or on campus. 6. Cell phones or pagers will not be allowed in classroom or dental lab. In case of an emergency you may be contacted at If a cell phone is seen, the student will be asked to leave the lecture room or dental lab and it will be counted as an absence. You are given periodic breaks and, you may check your voic at that time.
