@jkubicki I know, I've subscribed 😊 (17 referrals and counting 😁) I think that this debate should be all about what learning objectives we want to achieve and how to get there - in any case, good to stir the debate! 🙌

@attorneyatcode these are some other approaches/POVs

Top 8 reasons to normalize oral exams in law school: Oral exams can be a more effective method of assessment compared to written exams for several reasons: 1. Develop Communication Skills: Law practice relies heavily on strong communication and persuasion skills. Oral exams can help students develop and demonstrate these abilities, better preparing them for their future careers. 2. Encourage Critical Thinking: Oral exams require students to think on their feet and respond to questions spontaneously → critical thinking and analytical skills. 3. Reduce Anxiety: Written exams can often cause high levels of stress and anxiety for students. Oral exams, on the other hand, allow for a more conversational and interactive approach, which can help alleviate test-related stress. 4. More Engaging: Oral exams offer a dynamic, interactive format that encourages active participation and deeper understanding of the subject matter. This can lead to a more engaging learning experience for students. 5. AI-Resistant: As AI technology advances, the risk of students using AI chatbots to cheat on written exams increases. Oral exams are less susceptible to AI interference. Unless @joshuabrowder gives you an earpiece 😉 6. Minimize Cheating: Oral exams make it difficult for students to use pre-prepared answers or plagiarized content, ensuring a fair evaluation of their knowledge and understanding of the law. 7. Personalized Feedback: Oral exams allow for immediate feedback from examiners, which can help students identify areas for improvement and develop a better understanding of the subject matter. 8. Real-World Relevance: In legal practice, lawyers frequently engage in oral arguments and questioning. By incorporating oral exams into law school assessments, students gain experience in the type of communication that is relevant to their future careers.

@jkubicki So cannot bring myself to agree with this @jkubicki - more kudos to alternative ways of grading the students (or maybe think why we need grading in the first place 🧐)

@jkubicki (I am saying this while I graduated with honours with some of the best grades, and as I performed generally very well, because I was a very experienced public speaker)
