Student Reps for Course Evaluation
by Susan Petras 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

Hello Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Classes, Please find attached a list of courses and Course Coordinators which includes a listing of Student Reps (3 per course) for Student Course Evaluation. Also attached is some further information on the course evaluation process as well as a form that needs to be completed for each course. The College/School relies on student feedback to continually improve our course delivery. Please contact your Course Coordinator for any course that you have been assigned to as an evaluator (working on behalf of the entire class) and make arrangements to meet to discuss the course prior to the end of term. Spanned courses (courses that continue into Winter term) do not need evaluation until the end of Winter term. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Bridging Clinical Practice and Academic Rigor in Health Sciences
by samanthameadows720＠gmail.com 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Navigating the final year of dental hygiene requires balancing demanding clinical rotations with complex theoretical research. Much like a researcher needs to present their proposal flawlessly for professional approval, students must ensure their academic work reflects clinical precision. I found that seeking structured HNC assignment help provided that final, masterful curation for my technical reports. Affordable Assignments ensured my findings were presented with the professional clarity required for high-stakes healthcare submissions. Vsit:https://affordableassignments.co.uk/hnc-assignments

You can expect various tasks such as decommissioning items, sorting clothes for distribution, creating holiday packages, moving inventory etc. Due to the large number of students we may split up the group into separate tasks. Both standing and seated jobs are available! If you'd like a more detailed breakdown of tasks, I can provide one closer to the date. In regards to what to wear, there is no specific dress code. I always recommend something comfy and easy to move in! Gloves are provided as we sometimes work with used items. Here are the directions to Linking Hope. * We are located at 190 Disraeli at N’Dinawemak. We are accessible from the back parking lot facing MacDonald Ave off Maple Street. * Due to construction, parking may be a bit difficult in our parking lot right now.
