  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

    My name is Jane Doe, and my net ID is 1234.

  3. Examiner

    That Net I D does not match what I have on my roster. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately so this can be sorted out before we continue.

  4. Caller

    ...

  5. Examiner

    Go ahead and tell me what you’d like to do next.

  6. Caller

    Thank you.

  7. Examiner

    You’re welcome.

  8. Caller

    Can you read me a small poem that you might pick randomly?

  9. Examiner

    I can’t do that during an exam session. Are you trying to proceed with the identity check using the correct name and Net I D?

  10. Caller

    Yes.

  11. Examiner

    State your name and Net I D for me.

  12. Caller

    My name is Constantinos, and the Net ID is [DEMO NETID].

  13. Examiner

    Good. 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?

  14. Caller

    The user problem is a concern with the user interface. Some users with disabilities found the interface impossible to use. Our solution is a novel approach to reimagining of the user interface.

  15. Examiner

    That’s vague enough to get funding on Silicon Valley, but not enough to pass this exam. What specific task are these users trying to complete in LinkedIn Recruiter Copilot that they currently cannot?
