Objectives

The educational objectives for the subject of Orthodontics comprise a set of teaching activities that must be progressively introduced to students in the theoretical and practical knowledge that a general dentist must have. The theoretical syllabus during the first year of the subject (Orthodontics 1 and 2) has a general objective and four main sections: The general objective is to know how to diagnose from the point of view of the orthodontist but with an interdisciplinary overview of all specialties of Dentistry. The four sections are: 1) Introduction to Orthodontics and review of the structures and functions of the stomatognathic system; 2) Study of dentofacial growth and development; 3) Study of the etiology and classification of malocclusions; and 4) Study of the different diagnostic methods of orthodontic problems in order to know how to make a list of problems, some treatment objectives and begin to get involved in the elaboration of the treatment plan. The objectives of the laboratory practices are the practical application of theoretical knowledge and the acquisition of the attitude and reasoning skills and manual necessary for the diagnosis of malocclusion and the preparation of the appliances.

Teaching and learning activities


In blended

The entire 2020-21 academic year will be part-time and part-time online. 
Classes and seminars will be held according to the subject in any of the three official languages of 
UIC Catalan-Spanish-English. The course is divided into three groups M1, M2 and M3, 
to make all content part face-to-face and part online. All the teaching load will be done
 in this semi-face-to-face format since for now we cannot do it in person as before. 
1. Master classes: They teach basic knowledge. They include the necessary bibliographic references 
for the study and extension of the treated subject. There will be face-to-face with a virtual connection 
for groups that are not at the UIC that day. 2. Seminars: They are a review of the theoretical syllabus, 
with a much more practical side, which allow a more agile student-teacher interaction. They are done 
during internships. They can be both face-to-face and online. 3. Laboratory practices: Practical application 
of theoretical knowledge. They help to acquire the necessary attitude and skill. They will be done in groups 
both in person and online. 4. Tutoring (voluntary): Monitoring and individualized help of the student's 
progress especially for those who have learning problems such as those who are suspended.

Evaluation systems and criteria


In blended

Theoretical exam (face-to-face or online)

 

The theoretical exams of the subject of the ordinary calls consist of questions with multiple answer and / or questions of short answer. Exam questions may be in English if the class has been taught in that language.

 

Multiple-choice questions have only one valid answer and will be deducted 0.20 points for each incorrect answer.

 

The theoretical exam is passed with a minimum grade of 5, after the incorrect questions have been deducted.

 

If, at the request of the Academic Secretary, a student has to take the exam on another date or in a format other than the test, an oral exam (face-to-face or online) will be held with a panel of at least two teachers.

Orthodontic Practices 1
 
General rules of Orthodontic practices 1.
 
- The evaluation of the practices is continued. Each day what the student does will be scored.
 
- Attendance at internships (face-to-face or online) is mandatory.
 
- Each day of practices will evaluate with a score of 0 to 10. To approve the practice needs a minimum of note of 5.
 
- To pass the practices of Orthodontics 1 it is necessary to have done a minimum of 70% of the practices, and that of the average of all the practices of the subject a minimum of a 5 is obtained.
 
-The student must be informed of the material he needs to carry out the practice well in advance. Because to do the internship it is essential to bring or have (in the case of online internship) the printed internship dossier, which can be purchased at the copy shop or downloaded from Moodle, along with the scheme of the theory of the practice that appears in the pdf of each practice. The material of the practices on photos will have to be in color.
 
- The student must bring / have the laptop at each practice.
 
- The dressing gown is essential in all face-to-face practices, both in the classroom and in the laboratory. Attendance at the practice is not allowed without the gown.
 
- Punctuality is required, whether the practice is face-to-face or online, in order to meet the objectives of the practice as well as out of respect for teachers and peers. Delays imply a decrease in the qualification of the practice. It is considered late to arrive 15 minutes late for practice.
 
- The assignment of the job in the laboratory is personal and non-transferable throughout the course in the face-to-face practices.
 
- During the face-to-face practices the student is responsible for the material delivered by the faculty and must use it correctly and return it in the same conditions in which it was received. The workplace must be cleaned at the end of the face-to-face practice.
Evaluation of Orthodontic practices 1:
 
- In addition to the continuous evaluation of the practices, during the course there may be evaluations of different formats. For example, short pre-practice exams in which the content of the subject that has already been taught in the theoretical class, in practice or in the theory of practice is evaluated.
 
- In the continuous evaluation the following are valued: The punctuality, the attitude, the participation, the putting in practice of the theoretical knowledge acquired, the progress of the manual ability, the cleanliness in the presentation of the works.
 
- The practice will be scored with a zero in the following cases: 1. If the student does not show up for the practice, regardless of the reason. 2. If the attitude of the student or the quality of the work is very deficient. 3. If the student disrespects the teachers or auxiliary staff. 4. If the student alters the order or the good coexistence in the laboratory, 4. If the student does not bring the necessary material to do the practice.
Final note of the subject of Orthodontics 1
 
The final mark of the subject will consist of a corresponding part of the theoretical exam (70%) whether it is done in person or online, and another that will correspond to the mark of the practices (30%)
 
To establish this average, both parties, both theoretical and practical, must pass.
 
Review of exams
 
The revision of exams (face-to-face or online) will take place on the day and time indicated by the UIC Secretariat.
 
Delegates will be invited (in person or online) to review the exam, the doubts raised by the delegates will be commented on and corrected if any errors are detected.
 
Those students who wish to review the exam, in person or online, must request it ... from the delegate. Revisions will not be accepted for those who have not previously requested it from their delegates. The questions will not be revised one by one as they have already been reviewed with the delegates, but they will be attended to and advised.
 
The purpose of the revision of the exam is to correct a possible error of correction or calculation of the correct answers and only in this case will result in modification of the note.
