Fellow profs -- have you given oral midterm or final exams in undergrad classes? What format do you use? What kind of preparation do you provide your students?

Just gave a set last week to my online class: 20 minutes each for 20 students. They had to prepare summaries of the primary source documents for each of the first four weeks of class and respond to my questions (and ask a few if they wanted). Worked really well.

They are 10-15 minutes per student. I ask them questions we have already discussed in class.
I know within 30 seconds how well the student will do.
