What do you guys think of oral tests?

Posted by 5Lauren on September 18, 2009 at 9:58am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Well, after taking the oral test yesterday over the economic systems, I personally do not like them anymore. I do not do good on the spot so I pretty much bombed it. What are your thoughts?

I don't really mind oral tests. Yes, sometimes they can be hard because you don't really have time to think but, if you know your stuff you shouldn't have a problem.

I love oral, there easy and i like being able to talk and get out what I know compared to taking written tests where I feel more pressured becouse I am too lazy too write out everything for once I am actually giving Bruns some mad props.

I definitely didnt like the first one. I didnt feel like i prepared myself enough. I like having written tests just because there is more time to think about the answer and come up with a good one. Hopefully the second one will go a lot better. :)

I think they are okay. I guess a test is a test so what's the big deal.

i dont like taking them because i remember things better if i have longer time to think and i can explain things better on paper

I think a lot of students would like them more if we would be able to come back to some questions.

Maybe only individual because we will learn more because he ask us questions about it, Not infront of groups though

Personally I think they suck. I can't talk normal when I'm in the spotlight. I just freak I don't know why i just do.

i actually really like the oral tests it helps us figure out what we actually do know. I leads to discussions which i really enjoy. Also, i think you learn more and remember things better when you have an oral test.
