This might be my prejudice speaking (I studied math) but isn't this basically because grading is that much more subjective? So it would cut both ways, harder to cheat but also less objective / impartial assuming no cheating.
- raxxorrax 6y agoMy university does a lot of oral math exams. After failing 3 times you have the option for an oral test as a last chance and people do indeed fail math in large numbers. I was on the other side as an academic assistant for a few days (no role in testing) and I can tell you that oral math exams about algebra can be as hard as you want them to be, especially if you have problems with tests and get nervous. You have to take drugs against that. The prof I had was a bit of a dick but he was really good at measuring how well you understood the concepts and if you ware able to apply them to problems.
