Textbooks

Required Course Textbook

1.  Periodontology for the Dental Hygienist, Perry, Beemsterboer, and Essex, Elsevier, 4^th edition, 2014.

Supplemental Course Textbook

1.  Foundations of Periodontics for the Dental Hygienist , Jill S. Nield-Gehrig and Donald E. Willmann.  Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 3^rd edition,  2011.

2.Any dental hygiene national board review book or card set.  Examples are Mosby’s or Saunders comprehensive review books and dental hygiene review card decks.

Teaching Methods

A variety of teaching methods will be used to facilitate the goals and objectives of this course.  Students may purchase e-books.  We will be utilizing blackboard “Content” for our lecture/lab sessions.  Collaborative learning is based on four principles where the learner or student is the primary focus of instruction, interaction and “doing” are of primary importance, working in groups is an important mode of  learning, and structured approaches to developing solutions to real-world problems should be incorporated into learning.    The lecture component of this course will be taught in a collaborative way to incorporate different learning styles.  We will work in groups and with partners often with some traditional lecture format.  Material will be posted on blackboard to support classroom and laboratory activities such as:   Power Points, Videos, Practice Questions , Additional Notes and Readings.  Research shows that educational experiences that are active, social, contextual, engaging, and student-owned lead to deeper learning.  The benefits of collaborative learning include:

• Development of higher-level thinking, oral communication, self-management, and leadership skills.
• Promotion of student-faculty interaction.
• Increase in student retention, self esteem, and responsibility.
• Exposure to and an increase in understanding diverse perspectives.
• Preparation for real life social and employment situations.

  Each student shall be responsible for becoming knowledgeable of the contents and provisions of College policies, rules, and regulations concerning student conduct.  In some cases, individual programs may have approved policies for student conduct which also apply to student conduct in those programs.  Integrity and common sense will guide the actions of each member of the college community both in and out of the classroom.  Any student who fails to perform according to expected standards may be disciplined."

  The Amarillo College Dental Hygiene Program has specific policies which apply to student conduct within the program.  These policies have been implied or written.  The course syllabus and the program manual are sources for conduct policies for dental hygiene students at Amarillo College.

  A student, who has a grievance concerning a course in which he or she is enrolled should make an appeal in the following order to the:  1) Instructor, 2) Department Chair/Program Director, 3) Dean of Health Sciences, 4) Vice President of Academic Affairs and 5) College President in that order.

   

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   

   

   

   

   

  Grading Criteria

  Required Examinations and Projects
  
  The course will consist of weekly quizzes,  readings and discussions in lab from  Crest Oral B dental care.com assignments and  case studies,  major examinations and a comprehensive final.  Please refer to the course calendar for the schedule of materials to be covered in each class and the tentative examination dates. Also, please note the provisions of the Make-up Policy in this syllabus for missed examinations.

  Grading Criteria

  The final course grade will be computed as follows:

  A.  Weekly Quizzes –  Each will be valued at 100%  and will constitute 25% of your final grade.

   

  B . Major Examinations - Each will be valued at 100 points and will constitute 50% of your final  grade.                                                                                                                                                                        

  C. Comprehensive  Final Examination – Will constitute 25% of your final grade.                                                          

  The final examination will be comprehensive in nature over all of the material covered during the semester.

  The following grade scale applies throughout this course:

  A    93-100%

  B   83-92%

  C  75-82%

  F = Below 75%

  Note:  A grade of "D" is not possible in this course.

  Mandatory Skills Building/Tutoring

  In an effort to increase student success in DHYG courses, and to assist students having difficulty understanding complex subject areas, any student who scores below a 75% on any exam (excluding the Final Exam) must complete a mandatory skills building assignment before taking the next exam.  Before receiving a skills assignment, students must first schedule a time with the instructor.  The assignment will be given at that time.

  Make-up Policy for Missed Work
  
  If a student is absent on the day when a scored activity is given, the student may make-up the missed work as follows:

  1.  It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor within 24 hours of returning from the absence to reschedule the examination.

  2. The missed work must be made up within TWO Amarillo College school days where each day ends at 4:00 p.m.

  3.   The make-up work may earn a maximum of 80% of the original point value.

  4.  Note:  Weekly quizzes may not be made up in the event of an absence and a grade of "0" will be entered into the gradebook.

  
  
   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Attendance

  Attendance Policy

  "Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend class." ( Amarillo College Student's Rights and Responsibilites Publication)

  Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement.  Therefore it is the responsibility of the student to attend class.  Due to the tremendous amount of information contained in this course, the student who plans to succeed should also plan to attend all course sessions regularly and promptly. Without question, the instructor expects each student to be present at each session. Unfortunately, no one has ever developed a short cut, which will replace hours of actual experience needed to master a new skill; therefore, each student must be present to acquire the specific knowledge in this subject. 

  Absences will be monitored and evaluated to determine the student's final course grade. The  student may have no more than 1 absence in this course without affecting the final grade. Beginning with the 2nd absence, 2 points will be deducted from the final grade;  on the 3rd absence, 3 points will be deducted; on the 4th absence, 4 points will be deducted. On the occurrence of the 5th absence, the student will fail the course and be required to repeat the course.  Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each lecture/lab session.  Students who are  not present when attendance is taken will be counted as absent.  The student is expected to be present in class at the time class/lab is scheduled to begin.  STUDENTS WHO ARE LATE TO CLASS OR LAB OR WHO LEAVE CLASS OR LAB EARLY, WILL BE COUNTED AS ABSENT.  The student will receive 2 bonus points to the final grade for  this course if the student has perfect attendance for the semester.
