  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

  7. Examiner

    Thanks. What is your Net ID?

  8. Caller

  9. Examiner

    Then we should not do an NYU Stern final oral exam. If you were trying to reach someone else, you likely have the wrong number or link. What are you trying to do today?

  10. Caller

    Quiz me on something else😂

  11. Examiner

    Sure. What topic do you want to be quizzed on?

  12. Caller

    Infrastructural thinking.

  13. Examiner

    Define infrastructural thinking in your own words.

  14. Caller

    ...

  15. Examiner

    Take your time. What is your definition of infrastructural thinking?

  16. Caller

    Infrastructural thinking is when you see concepts , situations not as sylos but whole systems that need a proper understanding on how to build efficient infrastructure for it to function.

  17. Examiner

    Good. What is one concrete example from your own life where you applied that kind of systems view and it changed what you did?

  18. Caller

    ...

  19. Caller

    I'm stopped looking at project management role like a one man role and thought about how to really lay all the pipelines so it becomes easier for me to achieve my goal.

  20. Examiner

    Nice. What was one specific pipeline you laid down in that project management context, and how did you know it was working?

  21. Caller

    I made sure to make communication and assignment giving and follow up public to increase accountability.

  22. Examiner

    Good. What failure mode did you expect if you made that communication and follow up public, and how would you mitigate it?
