  That’s actually something that is done (PhD viva). If I had the budget to hire another 6 assistant profs to viva my 120 students, I’d probably do it for my module too!

  I love this method and would use it if it weren’t so incredibly time consuming. How are you supposed to test 30 students that way? Nevermind 300.

    With AI-based oral testing, of course!

  We still have orals in smaller seminars, and for PhDs. As another poster said there’s too many students in most courses to do it, but we absolutely do oral exams for smaller cohorts.
