A large number of students never raise their hand during lectures or goto office hours. This is especially the case for large undergraduate classes. It is hypothesized thatmany students would benefit from more interaction with an instructor or teaching assistant. Thisstudy is part of a larger project of implementing oral exams in undergraduate engineering courseswith potential benefits including improved assessment and reduction in academic integrityconcerns. In addition to these benefits, this study paper explores whether oral exams can increasestudent motivation to learn and performance

Surveys were administered each Spring semester from 2013 to 2022 to sophomoreengineering students at a large PWI institution in the Midwest, yielding a dataset of 1,766responses. Based on prior theory and research, we determined whether there was sufficient priorvalidity evidence for adapting Schreiner’s survey and what additional validity evidence wasneeded for the sophomore engineering use case. Adopting Kane’s argument-based approach, wegathered evidence to find support for the validity of the interpretations of the five scales of theSEES, specifically for reliability and factor structure. We then performed factor
. Another concern is the possibilitythat chatbots could be used to encourage academic dishonesty, such as by providing answers toassignments or exams. Some researchers have argued that chatbots have the potential to facilitateplagiarism by providing students with ready-made answers to assignments and assessments [24]. In [25],the authors presented the potential for chatbots to be used to cheat on online exams. The author in [26]also addressed this issue. These studies highlight the need for careful consideration of the ethicalimplications of using chatbot in education. The recent release of ChatGPT in November 2022 (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) by OpenAI(https://openai.com/), an AI-powered chatbot, has marked a significant advancement in
