  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

    Okay, my name is Sandra Smith.

  3. Examiner

    Thanks, Sandra. What is your Net ID?

  4. Caller

    950635.

  5. Examiner

    That does not match the Net ID I am required to verify, which is [DEMO NETID]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to sort out the mismatch.

  7. Examiner

    What is your name and Net ID?

  8. Caller

    Sandra Smith, [DEMO NETID].

  9. Examiner

    That still does not match. I need the Net ID exactly as [DEMO NETID], and your name should match [DEMO STUDENT]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately.

  10. Caller

    Okay, sorry once again. Let's try this.

  13. Examiner

    Your Net ID still does not match the required [DEMO NETID], and your name does not match [DEMO STUDENT]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to resolve the identity issue.

  14. Caller

    ...

  15. Examiner

    I can’t proceed with the exam until your name and Net ID match the roster exactly. Please hang up now and email the instructor to get it fixed.
