  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, I'm Konstantin and my Net ID is [DEMO NETID].

  3. Examiner

    Thanks. I heard [DEMO NETID], which matches what I have. Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  4. Caller

    I don't have one.

  5. Examiner

    You do not have one is not going to age well on your transcript, but we can work with it. What is the product you built for Team B, in one sentence?

  6. Caller

    I didn't build any product.

  7. Examiner

    Understood. Since your Net I D matches but you are saying you did not participate in the Team B project, we cannot proceed with the project defense portion as an exam. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to resolve the mismatch in enrollment or exam scheduling.
