  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

    It's [DEMO STUDENT].

  3. Examiner

    Thanks, [DEMO STUDENT]. What is your NetID?

  4. Caller

    It's KR triple eight.

  5. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I confirm your NetID matches [DEMO NETID]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  6. Caller

    ch: oh, you are asking me a difficult question. Actually, I wasn't the one doing the, the, the, the coursework, the assignment. I'm sorry.

  7. Examiner

    Understood. Then we should stop here, because I cannot examine someone who did not do the coursework. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to explain the situation and ask for next steps.

  8. Caller

    A little bit. A bit back.
