This module aims:

• To enable students to design, refine and do the preparatory research for the development of an independent, self-directed broadcast project;

• To enable students to produce work which will build on, extend and/or refine issues, practices, concepts and approaches which formed part of their previous learning on their programme of study;

• To promote the development of the skills required for the development of independent project work.

• To allow students to develop project work which will permit a critical reflection on broadcasting and broadcast practice.

Ideas and topics tackled in this unit serve the development of the society through discussing different social problems, community services initiatives, health and well being issues, gender equality, economic growth, reduced inequalities and partnerships. The SDGs are a main theme in this unit, students do extensive research to cover the topic in hand and develop an independent project.

The study encompasses the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of pulp and periapical diseases, as well as endodontic-periodontal problems, and tooth resorption. 

Objectives of this course:

1. Provide students with sufficient knowledge and clinical experiences to become proficient in diagnostic data collection, pulpal and periradicular diagnosis, treatment planning. 

2. Train students to provide quality patient care using state-of-the-art technology (e.g., rotary endodontics, dental operating microscope).

3. Prepare students to effectively treat the medically compromised and special needs patient.

The teaching of Contrastive Analysis is conceived within the scope of  comparing and contrasting Arabic and English in relation to improving Second Language Acquisition and translation through predicting learning difficulties and translation errors that may occur as a result of L1 interference and negative transfer. In this respect, the course participates in providing quality education. Participants are also equipped with approaches and tools of spoken, written and visual text analysis in English and Arabic to assess the impact of the different social contexts on text production and reception. Texts reflect issues of gender, social power as well as health & pandemics.
