Oral Examination
Is a practice in many schools and disciplines in which an
examiner poses questions to the student in spoken form.
An oral examination provides a meaningful procedure in
terms of testing for problem-solving ability.
A typical oral exam involves one or two students interacting
only with the instructors.
Why should we assess our
students orally?
To test students' knowledge at any level, but it may
be particularly useful in proving students' levels of
understanding and in assessing that understanding
in the context of its application.
Types of Oral Examination
1. ORAL ASSESSMENT AFTER A DIRECT
OBSERVATION ASSESSMENT
An oral assessment is often used as part of a de-briefing session after
a practical has been observed. The time duration is usually 3-5
minutes.
There is usually no formal structure, assessors usually ask questions
as they foresee, however, assessors may plan some general questions
in which all students will encounter during the practical.

2. ORAL IN THE FORM OF A VIVA VOCE
A viva voce is the Latin name for oral examination, often given for a
university examination with spoken questions and answers.
It is usually used to describe the oral examination at a postgraduate
level, conducted after the submission of the thesis for a research
degree to ensure that the candidate knows enough about the subject
to make it at least plausible that the dissertation is his own work.
There is no set time limit for a viva voce, but a full day examination
is often normal
