GREAT NIGHT OUT AT THE DENTAL BALL!!!

Hey all,
what a FAN....TAS....TIC night!!! One not to be forgotten and surely the next dental balls can only get better!!!! :) Well done to Kazza for organising the hotel room at the Liberty Towers! Excellent views to say the least!! If I had to critique the dental ball I would say that they served excellent food, good wine, the beer was average (west end draught i believe), excellent company, and good music! Well done to the organisers from the AUDSS! The cost was well worth it. To finish my critique....the only thing they could do better next time is serve better beer!!! and perhaps put the 'door prize' ticket under my seat hehe ;)
Cheers to 12 of the BOH 1 class that attended, hope to see more people there next year! :)

7 day extension on the developmental psychology assignment

Hey all,
most of you should be well aware of the 7 day extension that Katrina P has kindly given us. I sent an email to all BOH1 students on Friday the 21st to notify you on the extension and the possibility of having Friday free if we agree to having the last 2 DHS Psychology lectures on Tuesday 4th of September (provided that this offer still stands when I confirm class preference with Katrina on Monday). For anyone that may have not received the email I sent, a request for a short extension on on the psych. assignment was made on behalf of the class as a few student expressed some concern re. the due date. Katrina gladly extended this due date for the entire class so just add 7 days on top of the original assignment due date, and if you get it done before hand then.....bonus! On behalf of the class I expressed our appreciation for this extension. Get stuck into it and enjoy the useful knowledge! :)

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.
