Does anyone or has anyone received the schedule for fall 08 for temple dental? also...does anyone know if there is a gym available on campus?

 

[komodo]

i would also like to know the answers to both these questions.

 

[PChemGrad]

There is a gym in the SFC, which is 1 block away from the dental school

the schedule for the fall for freshmen is as follows

Monday
Dental Materials 8-930
Biochem 930-1130
Preventive Dentistry Clinic 1230-430 (you only have to go once, will be scheduled later)
but for the first few weeks you will have scheduled meetings during this time

Tuesday & Thursday
Histology 830-1130
Restorative Dentistry I Lecture 1230-130
RD I Lab 130-430

Wednesday
Behavioral Science 830-930
Biochem 930-1130
Histology 130-430 (it will typically only be from 130-2)

Friday
Preventive Dentistry 9-10
Biochem 10-1130
Biochem Review (optional) 1230-230

sounds wonderful! thanks!

you really will have a lot of free time on your hands. enjoy it.

do we need a Temple ID to get into the gym? if so, do we get out ID's during orientation? Thanks for all the help

Yes and Yes

 

[letsgfuad]

are you all joking or not.

Also, really how much harder is d-school than undergrad. I assume its all about time management. And how much did you all study after you got home from class?

 

[TempleDMDKrazd]

also, is it true that Temple doesnt have +/- in their grading system?

 

[PChemGrad]

That is correct, there are no +/-
So the person that busted their ass and got an 89 will get the same grade as someone who slacked off more and got an 80.

You will have a lot of free time your first year. Yes it is all about time management, but its not that bad. Look first semester MWF you are done about about lunch time, while TR you go until 430.
It isnt harder than undergrad, most all the basic science classes you take are at the undergraduate level. its just A LOT of information. yet not that bad.

 

[PChemGrad]

For books.
Materials: Buy
Biochem: Dont Buy
you will get a ton of packets to study from, if you have a biochem book from undergrad, that will be all you need
Histo.: Dont Buy
They give you everything you need but The book they tell you to buy, you can get online for free through the school
Restorative: BUY all three books
Behavioral: Dont Buy
Preventive: Buy but share with someone.

thanks so much PChemgrad, uve been a great help. Appreciating all the info uve given so far and hope to hear some more.

what else do you want to know.

I should be around at the orientation, since i have nothing better to do, plus i would get a free meal out of it.

thanks for the information, PChemGrad.

what kind of winter holiday schedule does temple have? 2 weeks (I suppose from Dec. 20 to Jan. 5 this year)?

also, the histology book that temple provides for free online.. is that the Ten Cate book?

 

[PChemGrad]

For winter break you get 2 weeks off, so it looks like this year it is from December 20th - January 4th, with classes starting again on January 5th.

The histology book that is provided free online is the
Basic Histology: Text & Atlas, 11th Edition
By: Luiz Carlos Junqueira and José Carneiro

The Oral Histology book by Ten Cate's is not provided online, I only opened the book up like twice. it may be a good resource to have, but...

how many teeth should we have at least collected by the time we get there? When do we use them and how many?


about the student gym thing. Ill be there a week early and i wont have my ID card until orientation. Im pretty strict with my work out regimen and would prefer not to skip. You think the staff workin at the student facility gym will let me in if i tell them i will have my ID? Maybe just having my ID number is good enough.....hopefully this will be ok.

 

[PChemGrad]

We didnt use any of the teeth we collected the first semester. but second semester we used about 15 - 20 of them.
I don't think they will let you in until you have your id card. since you havent paid any fees yet... What you have paid doesnt take effect until school starts.

how come? aren't there lab requirements or tests/quizess/other work to keep students crazy busy like in other schools? The students I met were really laid back but is that because first year is more mangeable at Temple or is it just that the people in Philly are more laid back in general and don't stress about their work? So is the work really less intense or is it the people choosing not to stress about it so much if it is intense?

 

[komodo]

hey for orientation, i know its free parking in the garage. However, i thought u needed a temple ID to enter the parking garage. Or will it be open the two days?

 

[PChemGrad]

yes you do need your student ID, but for those two days, just tell the security guard you are there for the Dental School Orientation, and they will let you in.

Here’s to you first year dental student, upon receiving your acceptance letter to dental student, you called everyone you knew to tell them you will soon becoming a dentist. Thinking all you will be doing is studying what goes on in the mouth, is soon shattered as you step foot in and are overwhelmed by Histology, Biochemistry, Physiology, and other non dental related classes. You soon realize dental school won’t be as easy as you once thought. Upon entering the pre-clinic you soon realize you will live here for the next several years, you are soon introduced to waxing and think of it more of an art class than school work. Frustration sets in the first time you pour up your first stone model, and can’t seam to figure out how to get it bubble free. The first time you pick up your hand piece, you can’t help but feel like a real dentist, yet can’t figure out how to control it with smooth accurate precision. Drinking takes on a new meaning, it helps dull the pain of studying non stop.

for histology, the course lists 3 required texts. one being the ten cates, the other being the basic histology, and the last one being the USMLE road map.

So my question is that we dont need all 3? Should i only just get the the ten cates? Can you also provide the link to the free online basic histology book.
thanks for all the help.

 

[PChemGrad]

you dont need all three books.
for the free online book Login to TuPortal
Click on TUlibrary
Click on eBooks
Click on AccessMedicine
Click on Textbooks
Then Click on Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, 11e

if you want you can buy the Ten Cate book, i guess, i never opened it.

There you go.

dress shirt w/ or w/out a tie is completely acceptable, although you will not be out of place if you do choose to wear a full suit.

You don't need anything. I never take my id with me. They just make you sign in on a sign in sheet that has your name, sig, and time you entered on it. It takes 3 seconds to fill out. Just act like you belong there, be nice and you will have nothing to worry about.
