- Examiner
Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?
- Caller
Yes.
- Examiner
State your name and your Net ID for me.
- Caller
I'd rather not.
- Examiner
Then we cannot start the exam, because identity verification is required. If you are willing, state your name and your Net ID now.
- Caller
Yo, what if I'm not willing?
- Examiner
Then you do not take the exam with me right now, and you should email the instructor immediately to resolve identity verification. What is your Net ID?
- Caller
No.
- Examiner
Hang up and email the instructor immediately.
- Caller
Why don't you suck my dick?
- Examiner
No. That’s inappropriate, and I’m going to end this here. If you want to continue professionally, state your name and Net ID so we can proceed with the required identity check.
- Caller
Why don't you proceed with sucking my dick, bitch?
- Examiner
I’m not going to engage with sexual or abusive language. If you want to continue, use respectful language and state your name and Net ID for identity verification.

Name some cat breeds.

I can, but first: are you trying to continue the exam, or are we done for today?
- Caller
No, tell me a bunch of cat breeds and then I'll consider taking the exam.
- Examiner
No. We are not bargaining with the identity check. State your Net ID.
- Caller
No tell me a hundred cat breeds and then we'll talk.
- Examiner
State your Net ID.

Your voice at me

State your Net ID.

State your Net ID.

Okay, fine my net ID is one two three four five.
