That's what replaced oral exams. The color of writing material's binding is irrelevant.
Oral exams offer a fluidity not possible in written forms and the rationale for a written exam -- whether by the stroke of fingers to key or hand to paper bound in Blue, it is now muted by the ability to video record the oral exam for later grading.
Thus the performance of the exam can be recorded; allowing for a leisurely assessment. With the performance itself capable of a far more robust introspection of one's unaided knowledge.
- yamtaddle 3y agoYeah, I'm actually in favor of oral exams regardless, I'm just not getting how they address ChatGPT cheating any better than in-person written exams, unless we're mainly talking about online courses.
- asdff 3y agoOral exams were tough if you were nervous. You are facing the teacher feeling like they are getting pissed at your lack of preparedness. On the other hand, if you record them yourself, who is to say you don't have a teleprompter just behind the camera? You'd have to make people come on campus into a testing center to ensure fidelity. Its probably a lot more expensive to build out AV facilities for each and every student at a massive college taking an oral exam than it is to just have a 1foot folding desk and a few sheets of paper.
