A message from course coordinator

Praise be to Allaah, Lord of the Universe. May Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad,the last of the Prophets and Messengers and upon his family and esteemed Companions.

As a course coordinator, I welcome you to the General Pathology course. The pathology is a veryrelevant and important subject for dental students because this is the subject bridges basic dental sciences

with clinical sciences. This course especially prepare the students to understand the oral pathology (which

deals with oral and para oral diseases) in the following year of BDS program.

This study guide will show you details of necessary knowledge related to the subject. During

lectures you will notice that we will cover only the major aspects of the subject, which means that you are

required to put more effort on self-directed learning strategies. Ultimately, you should be guided to become

a lifelong learner.

Being aware of the fact that students worry too much about examinations, we have made an effort

to disperse the assessment over the whole period. In the section on assessment you will see the details of

this process.I will be there to receive your feedback and comments and to try to resolve any difficulties during

the implementation of the course. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time if you need any help. The

other staff members teaching the course are also available for any help you may need in case you have

subject-related enquiries.

May Allaah Subhaanuwa Taala bless you with success in the course. May All aah Subhaanuwa

Taala guide and direct you to become a good practicing Muslim dental doctor.

Summative Assessment:

Minimal procedure experience - MPE:

Part1/ Laboratory sessions are evaluated according to the parameters given in assessment form.

Students are evaluated for each session, points scored are converted to marks. Each session carries one

mark, in the end of each exam (MSE 1, ESE 1, MSE 2, ESE 2) the marks scored in total sessions will be

- Mobile phones are strictly not permitted to use inside the laboratory. Anyone found talking or

texting or using the mobile for any reason will be given first warning. If the student repeat it for

the second time, the internal mark for that session will be considered as ZERO, the columns will

to ZERO mark for the session.

- If student fail to submit the assignment continuously for two session; he or she has to get permission

from the vice Dean Dr. Othman Wali. Loss / Missing Work Book: In the event of loss of student

workbook, written report has to be given immediately to the course coordinator. However thelaboratory and clinical procedures recorded in the book has to be repeated.

- Students fail to present his or her poster and oral presentation on the designated date announced by

the department of pathology, he or she has to get permission from the Vice Dean Dr. Othman Wali,

considered as invalid and the student will be awarded with ZERO MARKS for presentation

assessment.

Objective structured practical evaluation (examination) OSPE:

Station based objective structured practical evaluation (examination). 10 Stations in each exams (MSE1 /

ESE1 / MSE2 / ESE2). Marks distributed for OSPE in each exam is five. Total marks for OSPE is 20.

OSPE will be conducted in multiple batches. All the batch students should come prepared with all the

practical content taught in the respective sessions. Students will be evaluated from the entire practical

content. Total marks for practical session: 20 (MPE) + 20 (OSPE) = 40 Marks
