Overview

Oral exams have a bad reputation regarding the time it takes for teachers to use the assessment method. Based on several years of experience, we will challenge this assumption and suggest ways to implement oral exams effectively. In particular, we consider the student learning perspective and cost-effectiveness from a teaching perspective. There will be an opportunity for discussion with the facilitators and your colleagues in the latter portion of the session as well.
