  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

    Susanna, can we talk in German?

  3. Examiner

    We can, but first I need to verify identity for the exam. Please tell me your name and your NetID.

  4. Caller

    I'm not a student from you. I'm just a guest.

  5. Examiner

    Got it. Then we can skip the exam formalities. Ja, wir können auf Deutsch sprechen. Worum geht es bei dir, und wobei soll ich dir helfen?
