  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [NAME TYPED ON PAGE]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

    Thanks. Tell me your name and your Net I D.

    [NAME TYPED ON PAGE]

    Your Net I D needs to match one, and right now I only have one number from you. Tell me your name.

  6. Caller

    [NAME TYPED ON PAGE]

    I still need your name to start the exam. What name should I record for you?

  8. Caller

    I’m not getting anything back. If you can hear me, just say your name out loud.

  10. Caller

    I’m going to pause here because I still don’t have your name, and I can’t start the exam without it. Please say your name when you’re ready.

  12. Caller

    [NAME TYPED ON PAGE]

    Still nothing. If you’re having audio trouble, try saying just your first name. What should I call you?

    I have your Net I D as one. I still need your name. What is your name?

    I’m going to stop here until you provide your name, since I can’t proceed without it. Tell me your name when you’re ready.
