Abstract

To determine how students used daily and term-based clinical assessment tools, students’ experience of clinical teaching and clinical assessment. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study population included final-year Degree in Oral Health (BOH) students (n = 34). Data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire using open- and closed-ended questions.The response rate was 85% (n = 29). Respondents reported that term-based assessment tools were more useful than daily assessment tools in preparing for clinical sessions, in guiding their patient management and as a reflection of their competence.
