   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?

   Caller

   My name's Will, net ID 1876429711B-alpha.

   Thanks, Will. That Net I D does not match the Net I D I have on file, which is [DEMO NETID], so you should hang up now and email the instructor immediately to resolve the mismatch.

   Okay, that sounds a bit frustrating but I appreciate. I'll need to clarify that before we can continue.

   Makes sense, and yes, it is frustrating in the same way it is frustrating to debug a production system with no logs. Once you have emailed the instructor and they confirm the correct Net I D, come back and we will continue.
