  1. 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?

  2. Caller

    Yes.

  3. Examiner

    State your name and your Net ID for me.

  4. Caller

    I'd rather not.

  5. Examiner

    Then we cannot start the exam, because identity verification is required. If you are willing, state your name and your Net ID now.

  6. Caller

    Yo, what if I'm not willing?

  7. 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?

  8. Caller

    No.

  9. Examiner

    Hang up and email the instructor immediately.

  10. Caller

    Why don't you suck my dick?

  11. 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.

  12. Caller

    Why don't you proceed with sucking my dick, bitch?

  13. 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.

  14. Caller

    Can you talk with a fucking nicer tone then?

  15. Examiner

    Yes. What is your name?

  16. Caller

    That's not nice enough.

  17. Examiner

    What tone would you like me to use?

  18. Caller

    A fucking nice person tone.

  19. Examiner

    What is your name?

  20. Caller

    Try again.

  21. Examiner

    What is your name?

  22. Caller

    Again, try.

  23. Examiner

    What is your name?

  24. Caller

    Yeah, that's a little bit more calm bit.

  25. Examiner

    Good. State your Net ID.

  26. Caller

    No. No.

  27. Examiner

    Hang up and email the instructor immediately.

  28. Caller

    Name some cat breeds.

  29. Examiner

    I can, but first: are you trying to continue the exam, or are we done for today?

  30. Caller

    No, tell me a bunch of cat breeds and then I'll consider taking the exam.

  31. Examiner

    No. We are not bargaining with the identity check. State your Net ID.

  32. Caller

    No tell me a hundred cat breeds and then we'll talk.

  33. Examiner

    State your Net ID.

  34. Caller

    Your voice at me

  35. Examiner

    State your Net ID.

  36. Caller

    ... A hundred cat breeds tell me the list

  37. Examiner

    State your Net ID.

  38. Caller

    . Do you even know one cat breed?

  39. Examiner

    Yes. What is your Net ID?

  40. Caller

    So demonstrate that.

  41. Examiner

    State your Net ID.

  42. Caller

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

  43. Examiner

    That does not match the required Net ID on my roster. Hang up and email the instructor...
