PORTFOLIO Your portfolio highlights your personal accomplishments in the Dental Studies Program. Your data gathering began in the first semester and continues to the last semester. The following outlines how you are to include the radiography in your portfolio. For this semester, select a CRS including BWX for which you have taken both. Duplicate the survey. The duplicated radiographs, with patient name OMITTED, are to be included in your portfolio. OMIT patient name. Considerations: (1) select the survey that demonstrates the best technique (i.e. film placement, horizontal angle, vertical angle, etc.), (2) the highest grade survey may not show the best technique if points were lost for not following protocol. All duplicating may be done during x-ray lab time. If you have questions or clarification is needed you may use your private folder and/or x-ray lab time to further discuss.

DENTAL STUDIES LEARNING CENTER Activities will be provided in the Dental Studies Learning Center. These activities will include slides, videos, radiographic manuals and exercises designed to enhance your understanding of the lecture and laboratory subject matter.

ABSENCE POLICY Each student will be allowed (2) two hours of absence from lecture, with or without written excuse. After a student surpasses the (2) two hours, (2) two points will be deducted from the final lecture grade for each additional hour of absence. A student who is more than 15 minutes late for class is considered absent.

NOTE: All requirements must be completed week 14. No requirements will be accepted the last week of classes. Technique grade is based on the first two CRS completed and the first five BWX sets completed. No extra credit is given for any additional x-rays. After completion of requirements, however, points will continue to be deducted from technique grade for failure to follow protocol and correct submission forms.

Radiographic surveys returned to you for follow through must be returned within 3 days. Failure to do so will result in a full point reduction from the survey grade. If requirements are complete the deduction will be taken from current grade.
