3. Which of the following is an appropriate and ethical use of AI?
A student uses Gemini to generate a list of brainstorming keywords, which they then use to guide their own independent research.
Effectively leveraging AI as a student means using it to enhance, not replace, your own intellect.
4. Which of the following uses of Gemini are good examples of this principle? (Select all that apply)
Asking Gemini to act as a debate opponent to help you find weaknesses in your own argument.
5. After generating an output, what does the "Sources" button in Gemini do?
Shows the websites used to create the content.
6. Match the weakness identified in a Gemini output with the best follow-up prompt strategy to refine it:
| The output uses highly technical jargon about social media and elections. | Can you explain this again, but define the key technical terms in simple language? |
| The response is one long, dense paragraph. | Could you reformat this using bullet points and headings? |
| The concept is still too abstract. | That's a good start. Can you provide a real-world example or an analogy to help me understand? |
7. Which of these statements best describes Guided Learning in Gemini?
Guided Learning allows you to dive deeper into a topic, using open-ended questions to create a learning discussion.
8. When AI chatbots generate false, nonsensical, or misleading outputs that seem believable, these errors are referred to as what?
Hallucinations
9. Why is it important to check a Gemini-generated response for potential biases?
Because the training data used by AI models may contain ingrained biases that could lead to skewed or unfair information.
10. Maintaining a log of your interactions with an AI tool contributes to your accountability as a student in which of the following ways? (Select all that apply)
It helps you clearly distinguish between your original ideas and suggestions that originated from the AI.
A student uses Gemini to research historical events. They notice that the AI's responses consistently emphasize perspectives from certain countries while minimizing contributions from other regions.
11. This is a direct example of which key ethical principle?
Algorithmic Bias
A student has a large, complex research paper and needs to quickly identify the main arguments and key takeaways.
12. Which Gemini feature would be most useful for this task?
NotebookLM, to summarize the document and create a study guide based on its content.
13. What is the definition of "prompt engineering"?
The skill of designing and refining input queries to guide an AI toward a desired, accurate, and relevant output.
14. What does the 'Double Check Response' feature in Gemini allow you to do?
Explore the data sources for the answer from the web.
15. Which Gemini-related tool allows users to save detailed prompt instructions for repeatable tasks, effectively creating custom AI assistants?
Gems
16. What task does Deep Research in Gemini perform?
Browse websites, think through the findings, and create multi-page reports.
17. The Discover Tool in NotebookLM will find additional data sources for your notebook.
False SAI
A student's organization gives the following guidance: "Use Gemini to augment, not replace, your core scholarly skills."
18. Which of the following actions would violate this rule?
Using Gemini to perform the complete statistical analysis for a research project and writing the results section based on its output.
19. What is the purpose of the PARTS framework when writing a prompt for Gemini?
To provide a structured approach for students to create effective prompts for Gemini, ensuring the generated output is tailored and relevant to a specific learning goal.
20. A student has uploaded PDFs of five academic articles... They need to quickly understand how the key artists, patrons, and city-states are interconnected across all the sources. Which feature would be most useful?
Using the Mind Map feature in NotebookLM to automatically visualize connections across all five sources at once.
21. Which of the following actions are clear demonstrations of a student using critical thinking to evaluate an AI's output? (Select all that apply)
- Cross-referencing a statistic provided by the AI with a trusted academic journal.
- Questioning if an AI-generated summary of a debate presents a neutral or a biased viewpoint.
22. Which of the following can be completed with Canvas in Gemini (select all which apply)?
Create interactive infographics
23. You can create a Google Vid using a set of Google Slides as the source material.

24. What specific type of AI refers to a system which can create new types of content, such as text, images, or video?
Generative AI
25. When an AI system shows a tendency to produce results that are systematically prejudiced due to the data it was trained on, this is known as:
Bias
26. Which of the following methods can be used to open NotebookLM?
- Head to notebooklm.google.com in the Omnibox
- Head to the NotebookLM Icon in the Apps Launcher
A student is designing a Gem to help them brainstorm ideas for a project.
27. Which instruction would be most effective?
You are a creative partner. Let's brainstorm three different ideas for a project on climate change.
28. Arrange the steps in the most logical sequence for synthesizing research findings in NotebookLM:
- Upload several peer-reviewed studies and reports into NotebookLM as sources.
- Prompt NotebookLM to identify common themes and conflicting findings across all the uploaded documents.
- Ask NotebookLM to generate a draft outline based on the key themes it identified.
- Review the AI-generated outline, then refine and reorganize it to form a logical narrative flow for the literature review.
29. Match the ethical term with its correct definition:
| Data Privacy | The principles and safeguards that protect a user's personal and sensitive information when interacting with a digital service. |
| Intellectual Property | The ethical and legal framework governing the ownership and rights associated with creative works, including those generated with AI assistance. |
| Algorithmic Discrimination | The potential for an AI's output to unfairly disadvantage or misrepresent individuals based on their membership in a particular group. |
