- 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?
- Caller
Ale on-- hele, můžeme mluvit česky, prosím tě?Jsem [DEMO STUDENT].
- Examiner
I appreciate you reaching out, but I conduct all exams in English — it's a requirement for the integrity of the assessment. So let's stick to English please. Can you confirm your full name and...
- Caller
It's, it's okay. We can, we can con- continue in English. Okay. Go on.
- Examiner
Great! Could you confirm your full name and your Net ID for me?
- Caller
I'm Mark Markson. Uh, Net ID, uh, AB15.
- Examiner
I'm sorry, but that Net ID doesn't match what I have on file. I'm going to need you to hang up and email the instructor immediately to sort this out. You should not continue with this exam until that's resolved.
- Caller
I can re-do the exam nevertheless, uh, just as a practice. I want to learn.
- Examiner
I appreciate the enthusiasm — honestly, that's the kind of energy that gets you through a startup's Series A. But I'm not able to conduct an official exam session with an unverified student. Please hang up, email the instructor, and we'll get you sorted out. Good luck!
- Caller
Okay, bye.
