In partnership with Human Genetics BSc (Hons) Dental Hygiene BSc (Hons) Dental Therapy Asynchronous Study Guide MODULE: Oral and Dental Sciences HED_4_003  Human Genetics: Asynchronous Study Guide Guide description: This document is a brief guide to assist self-directed learning for the unit. Minimum suggested time for this unit: 1.5 hours Expectation: Student should review prior knowledge regarding genetic principles, vocabulary and terminology associated with this subject from Basic Biology. Aim: This unit aim to give a brief introduction to human genetics and its relevance in dentistry Learning outcome: After this session, students should be able to – 1. Describe basic principles of human genetics 2. Identify the impact of gene mutation in humans 3. Recognise the relevance of human genetics in dentistry Student Activities: Essential: 1. Pre-session reading: check reading list and/or download available pdf 2. Self- assessment on knowledge related to human genetics: common vocabulary, terminology and principles of genetics in human 3. View pre-recorded video presentation 4. Moodle activity 1 (Formative Assessment section): Share one foreseeable challenge in providing oral health care for a Treacher Collins or Down Syndrome patient in the group discussion forum. See guided learning from post-session reading. 5. Moodle activity 2 (Formative Assessment section): e-MCQ self-assessment (Quiz) Activities Minimum suggested time 1&2 25 minutes 3 40 minutes 4 15 minutes 5 10 minutes Education Curator: J Khaw Page 1 of 2 ODS  Human Genetics: Asynchronous Study Guide Reading list: Pre-session reading: 1.
