COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Identify the areas of the head and neck region of the human.

2. Describe the normal development of the structures of the head and

neck.

3. Recognize developmental abnormalities, such as cleft lip and cleft

palate.

4. Recognize the anatomical landmarks used in the administration of

local anesthesia.

5. Describe the process of embryological development of the head and

neck region of the oral cavity.

6. Explain the structural relationships of the oral cavity and how they

function in a healthy state of dynamic equilibrium.

7. Identify normal histological structures of the head and neck,

including the oral cavity in microscope.

8. Describe the basic tissues of the body.

9. Identify and describe the organ systems of the head and neck.

10. Apply knowledge of head and neck structures to the extra oral and

intraoral examination and administration of local anesthetics in

clinical hygiene courses.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 10 - 45%
Homework problems, Quizzes, Exams, Skills
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 25 - 40%
Class performances, Field work, Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 30%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion, Fill in
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 15 - 45%
Professionalism: Criteria used to evaluate on file.
