Interest in oral exams is growing rapidly in computer science education, especially during and since shifts to remote learning and due to concerns around AI-supported programming. This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session is broadly applicable to many in the CS education community, whether they have previously tried oral exams, have concerns about the use of oral exams in CS education, or are curious to hear more about how oral exams might work. The BoF session will provide a forum to discover and discuss previous approaches to oral exams, dive into common themes of interest in small groups, and collectively identify promising future directions for oral exams in CS courses.
