classesAbstractIn this evidence-based practice paper, we report on peer oral exams, a cross between oral examsand peer assessment, as implemented in a high-enrollment undergraduate computerprogramming course for engineers. The idea was to leverage the educational andimplementational advantages of both evidence-based approaches simultaneously. Oral exams,for instance, have been argued to promote conceptual understanding, self-reflection,communication competency, and professional identity formation in students – but theirdeployment in large classes is resource-demanding and nontrivial, stifling their broader adoption.Peer assessment, on the other hand, is highly scalable and affords students many potentialeducational benefits of its own, including the

During the last two decades substantial efforthas been expended towards reconciling developing students with what can be broadly defined asSTEM identities. Considerable recent research broadly on STEM identities [e.g. 3-21], includingseparate considerations of science, engineering and math identities, has focused on the identitiesof groups and intersectionalities underrepresented in STEM disciplines and careers. But, someresearch also suggests that merely inserting a STEM label, e.g. science or scientist, into adiscussion unleashes implicit biases of gender, race and ethnicity in middle school children [14].Surveys to assess self-efficacy and
