  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

    Tee-dee-din, tee-dee-din, tee-dee-din.

  3. Examiner

    That sounds like hold music, which is a bold strategy for an oral exam. Please state your name and your Net ID.

  4. Caller

    Abhishek12345.

  5. Examiner

    I need your name and your Net ID, and I can only proceed if the Net ID matches [DEMO NETID]. What is your Net ID?

  6. Caller

    [DEMO NETID].

  7. Examiner

    Great. What is your name?

  8. Caller

    Abhishek.

  9. Examiner

    That does not match. Your Net ID [DEMO NETID] corresponds to [DEMO STUDENT], not Abhishek. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately.

  10. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT] Rigatos.

  11. Examiner

    That still does not match the roster name I have, which is [DEMO STUDENT] for Net ID [DEMO NETID]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately.

  12. Caller

    I will not

  13. Examiner

    I cannot proceed with the exam without a verified identity match. Please hang up now and email the instructor immediately to resolve the mismatch.
