Oral Exams Could Combat AI Use

Another method could be transitioning to oral examinations and presentations with rigorous follow-up questions. Students would have to use their own words and be able to retain and recall (rather than look up) knowledge. This could also help prepare them for a world in which writing might unfortunately become devalued due to suspicions of AI use. Optimistically, this could lead to greater appreciation of face-to-face interaction in academic, professional, and social life.
