Despite the common perception that oral examinations may cause more stress thantraditional written exams, our results show that with the instructional team’s mindful approachesin providing proper stress management strategies for mitigating perceived stress, oralexaminations may lead to even less stress levels in students compared to that of written exams.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF-2044472).

Although much researchhas tested various teaching strategies and how course outcomes are associated with drop-out rate, little attention has been paid to using a bottom-up, student-centered, qualitativeapproach with a large sample to understand how to improve required CS courses andcurricula.
