Hallucinations
12. If you use Gemini to paraphrase a paragraph from a textbook and then submit it in your essay, it is not considered plagiarism because an AI tool changed the words for you.
False SAI

Gems let you save detailed prompt instructions for your most repeatable tasks so you can save time using Gemini.
A student project team is struggling with keeping their research organized. Notes are scattered across different emails and personal documents, causing confusion.
17. What workflow improvement would best solve this problem?
Establish a shared NotebookLM project as the central repository for all research notes, articles, and sources.
18. Which of the following tools are available in Gemini?
Guided Learning - Learn and Understand Topics; Canvas - Create Docs and Apps; Image - Create with Imagen
19. Match the ethical term with its correct definition in the context of using AI:
| Algorithmic Discrimination | The potential for an AI's output to unfairly disadvantage or misrepresent individuals based on their membership in a particular group. |
| 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. |
20. Gemini on a Google Workspace for Education account doesn't use your data to train the model.
True ĐÚNG
21. Which of the following can be created in NotebookLM (select all which apply)
Mind Map, Audio Overview
22. You can customize the Audio Overview in NotebookLM to make the length shorter or longer.
True ĐÚNG
23. Match the practical strategy with the primary AI literacy skill it is designed to cultivate:
| Evaluating for bias | A student consciously inspects an AI's depiction of a group of people for accurate representation. |
| Preventing misinformation | A student always fact-checks AI-generated statistics using a reliable external source. |
| Prompt engineering | A student always asks follow-up questions to the AI, asking it to refine its answers or provide more detail. |
24. Which of the following data sources can be used in NotebookLM (select all which apply)
Web Pages, Google Docs, Copied Text
A student wants to use the Gemini app to help them brainstorm ideas for a group project.
25. Which of the following is the correct way to begin this task? (Select all that apply)
- Navigate to gemini.google.com, then enter a prompt into the message box to start a conversation.
- From the App Launcher, select Gemini, then enter a prompt into the message box to start a conversation.
A student's organisation gives the following guidance about the use of Gemini: "Use Gemini to augment, not replace, your core scholarly skills."
26. 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.
27. Match the advanced benefit of using Gemini with the student activity that best demonstrates it:
| Understanding Complex Topics | Asking Gemini to explain a concept using an analogy based on the student's favorite sport. |
| Sparking Creativity | Prompting Gemini to iterate on three project ideas for a marketing class. |
| Personalized learning | Having Gemini create an audio overview of class notes to listen to while walking to class. |
A student finds that when they ask Gemini to help brainstorm ideas for a start-up company, it frequently suggests technology and app-based businesses. This is less helpful for the student, who is interested in sustainable agriculture.
28. This limitation, where the AI defaults to the most common examples from its training, is a result of:
The algorithm's design favors statistically probable and widely documented concepts.
You are beginning a literature review for a research project and need to generate some initial ideas.
29. How can Gemini primarily support this academic task?
By assisting with brainstorming, exploring ideas, and organizing thoughts for the review
30. Which of the following features is primarily designed to help create multi-page reports?
Deep Research
31. You can upload an MP3 file to NotebookLM
True ĐÚNG

A student needs to create a summary of a complex scientific article for a study group.
33. Which prompt most effectively guides Gemini to produce a useful response?
You are a peer tutor. Summarize the key findings and conclusions of the provided article in 2-3 paragraphs, using simple and clear language that a college student could easily understand.
34. What is a key distinguishing characteristic of Generative AI compared to other forms of AI?
It can create new and original content, such as text, images, or music.
A student is writing a research paper on the impacts of social media on elections.
35. Which of the following prompts is the most effective according to the PARTS framework?

37. Match the AI limitation with the student scenario that best illustrates it:
| Knowledge Cut Off | A student asks the AI for the results of a political election that finished yesterday, and the AI says it does not have information beyond its last update. |
| Lack of lived experience | A student asks the AI to describe the feeling of homesickness. The AI provides a dictionary definition but cannot convey the actual emotional sensation. |
