Module summary
This module further develops your knowledge and understanding of equality and diversity issues. You will revisit the General Dental Council (GDC) Standards as they are applied to regulation of the dental team. The module links your learning of clinical procedures to communication issues in respect of those procedures.Unless your programme is designed to be delivered fully online, your programme and modules will be delivered predominantly on campus. These teaching activities will be supported by the use of digital tools to enhance your learning and experience. The catalogue provides details of your module and the teaching methods used to deliver your module (for example, lecture, seminar, tutorial, practical). It does not necessarily provide you with information about the mode of delivery for specific learning activities on your module (whether these will be on campus or delivered digitally). Information about the delivery mode for learning and teaching activities for your modules will be published in the timetable and in the Minerva area for your modules. You can access your personalised timetable through Minerva or our UniLeeds app on your mobile device. We sometimes need to adapt our teaching to take account of developments in the subject, in response to new research and current affairs for example, and on occasion we may need to adapt our delivery modes too. You will be kept informed of any proposed changes to the content and delivery of your modules as described in the module catalogue and we’ll make sure you understand and agree the reasons for any changes before they are introduced.Objectives

Methods of assessment
Coursework
| Assessment type | Notes | % of formal assessment |
| Tutorial Performance | Leeds for Life Completion | 0.00 |
| Essay | Application of GDC Standards (1000 words) | 60.00 |
| Oral Presentation | Summatively assessed group presentation on equality and diversity. | 40.00 |
| Total percentage (Assessment Coursework) | 100.00 | |
If a student is legitimately unable to take part in the groupwork or the group fails the presentation, submission of a 1500 word individual written assignment based on one of the topics covered in the group work would be substituted for the assessment and constitute 40% of the module mark. Where the assignment is used as a resit for the groupwork, the maximum mark awarded will be capped at 40. Leeds for Life completion is a progressional requirement. The two summative elements are non-compensable.
