Perfect homework, blank stares: Why colleges are turning to oral exams to combat AI
Colleges in the US are turning to oral exams to combat the use of AI in homework and assessments. This shift is driven by concerns that students are relying too heavily on AI and losing critical thinking skills.
Colleges are introducing oral exams to assess student learning. This method is seen as a way to prevent AI cheating and promote critical thinking. Professors at Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania are using oral exams to evaluate student understanding. The oral exams are paired with written papers to ensure students have a deep understanding of the material. This approach is part of a larger shift towards in-person assessments. The goal is to determine what students are actually learning and to prevent over-reliance on AI.
