  1. What is the testing effect?
    • Rereading notes is the best way to remember
    • Recalling information strengthens memory more than rereading it
    • Tests cause anxiety that lowers learning
    • Chatbots score higher on tests than students
  2. In the high school math experiment described, what happened to students with unrestricted chatbot access?
    • They did better on both practice and the later exam
    • They did better on practice but worse on the later exam without it
    • They refused to use the chatbot
    • They did worse on practice but better on the exam
  3. What is the explain-back technique?
    • Asking the chatbot to explain the topic to you repeatedly
    • Explaining the concept in your own words and asking the chatbot to find errors
    • Copying the chatbot's explanation into your notes
    • Having a friend explain the chatbot's answer
  4. When quizzing yourself with a chatbot, what is the recommended format?
    • Get all questions and answers at once
    • One question at a time, answering before seeing the solution
    • Only ask for definitions
    • Ask it to take the quiz for you
  5. What should you do first to know whether AI use is allowed in a course?
    • Assume it is allowed everywhere
    • Read the syllabus and ask the instructor if unclear
    • Ask the chatbot whether it is allowed
    • Check what other students do
  6. Why should you check chatbot explanations against your textbook?
    • Textbooks are always longer
    • Chatbots can state mistakes confidently
    • Chatbots never know course material
    • Instructors require citations of textbooks
  7. What is a benefit of pasting your own notes into a study prompt?
    • It guarantees every answer is correct
    • It grounds questions in your course material and reduces off-topic content
    • It makes the chatbot write your essay
    • It disables the chatbot's memory
  8. If a chatbot starts giving full answers during a long hint-only session, what should you do?
    • Accept the answers to save time
    • Restate the rules, because earlier instructions can lose influence
    • Copy the answers into your assignment
    • Assume hint-only mode is no longer possible
