Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Self-evaluation is an essential skill for dental professionals for lifelong learning and improvement through the course of their careers. Students taking a preclinical fixed prosthodontics course were studied. The students were asked to assign themselves a grade upon completion of their timed preparation examination (teeth preparations and provisional restorations), and these were compared with grades given by the faculty. The poorer performing students tended to be less critical with their examination and to overrate their performance whereas the higher performing students were more critical of themselves and underrated their performance.
