The assessment method will involve students producing a presentation of the clinical case photographed and treated with hygiene during the practical exercises. The evaluation of this presentation will be added to the grade obtained in the oral exam of the Periodontology 1 exam. The evaluation consists of:

0 (Poor presentation) - No points added to the oral exam grade

1 (Good presentation) - 1 point added to the oral exam grade

2 (Excellent presentation) - 2 points added to the oral exam grade

Teaching tools

Students will be provided with PDFs of the slides presented during the lessons via email.
