Practice Oral Exam Tool — illustrative example INPUT Practice oral exam topic: how a simple circuit works. Provide an opening question and a conditional follow-up. RESULT Opening: "What roles do the power source, conducting path and load play in a simple closed circuit?" After the learner answers: "What changes when the conducting path is opened, and why?" Wait for each response and ask for clarification where needed instead of reading an answer before the learner tries. REVIEW Oral practice should test explanation and response to follow-up questions. Evaluate the supplied answer against the actual course criteria. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
