The Digestive system

just found a site that reads pretty easy and covers the digestive system pretty comprehensively. Probably contains way more than we need to know, but it's a pretty good read.

Issues Raised at the Curriculum Committee Meeting

For student interest I have cut and pasted the issues that were raised on behalf of the BOH1 class from the Curriculum Meeting Minutes WEDNESDAY 1^ST AUGUST 2007.
Note: THESE ARE ONLY MEETING NOTES AND NO UPDATE ON FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE TOPICS IS AVAILABLE YET. i WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON ANY FEED BACK.

BOH Student representative spoke to the committee on problems that had been communicated to him from other students;

(1) Not enough emphasis on Human Biology
(2) Request for more frequent assessments and hence less topics covered in each assessment
(3) Recognition of Prior Learning – request for this be considered
(4) Methods of how student participation marks were being presented
(5) Students were complaining about the marking schemes being used
(6) There were complaints concerning one lecturer who students had difficulty understanding
(7) BOH Bridging to BDS – what monitoring processes are in place for current intake?
(8) Can BOH students “fill” places in BDS program where students have dropped out?

Neville pointed out that many of these concerns should be raised via the Staff-Student Liaison Committee in the first instance. Tracey indicated that issues relevant to other committees would be directed to the relevant committee, eg, Year committee or Selection Committee.

Dental Ball :)

Hey all,
anyone interested in good night out at the Dental Ball should let me know so we can arrange a table or two. I hear it is a great night out! 3 course meal, beverages included (beer, wine, champas) and not to forget........... the dance floor hehe.... bust a few moves!
The cost is $85 per person unless audss memeber = $75 Date I will have to check again soz. Early Sept I believe. Tickets can be purchased down in the basement from any audss rep at lunch time. Should be a sell out and we should purchase tickets over the next week I'm told, but the sooner u let me know if you are going then we may be able to book tables.

Cheers!

Luke
