1. Why might two teachers in the same school have completely different rules about using AI?

   1. Teachers who use AI themselves always allow it, while those who don't always ban it
   2. Schools randomly assign AI rules to teachers to make things interesting
   3. One teacher is always right and the other is always wrong
   4. Each subject has different learning goals, so what counts as 'your own work' changes

2. Before using AI for any school assignment, what should a student always do first?

   1. Check if other students are using AI and do what they do
   2. Assume AI is allowed unless the syllabus says otherwise
   3. Wait until after submitting the work to ask about the rules
   4. Ask the teacher for the specific AI policy for that assignment

3. In a typical English class where AI is partially allowed, which of these would most likely be permitted?

   1. Using AI to replace your own proofreading
   2. Copying AI-generated paragraphs into your submission
   3. Using AI to brainstorm essay topics
   4. Having AI write your entire essay

4. In a typical Math class where AI is partially allowed, which use would most likely be forbidden?

   1. Asking AI to check your arithmetic
   2. Using AI to explain how fractions work
   3. Using AI to do all the problem set problems for you
   4. Using AI to show steps for a problem type

5. A student uses AI to write their science experiment report. Based on the patterns in the lesson, what would a teacher most likely say?

   1. This violates the AI policy because the experiment write-up is your own work
   2. This is fine because experiments are about the data, not the writing
   3. This doesn't matter because science doesn't count as 'real' writing
   4. This is okay since science is all about facts, not opinions

6. In History class, which AI use would most teachers consider crossing the line?

   1. Using AI to find and cite sources for research
   2. Using AI to check your facts about dates and names
   3. Asking AI to explain the causes of a historical event
   4. Having AI write your entire essay from scratch

7. Why does the lesson suggest getting a teacher's AI policy in writing or syllabus form?

   1. Because schools require all AI policies to be signed
   2. Because AI policies change every single day
   3. Because verbal answers don't count as real policies
   4. So there is clear proof of what the rules are if a dispute arises

8. What does 'academic integrity' mean in the context of schoolwork?

   1. Never using any technology while doing homework
   2. Following all school rules even when you disagree with them
   3. Doing your own work and being honest about when help came from outside sources
   4. Getting the highest grade possible by any means necessary

9. What could happen if a student uses AI on an assignment without checking the policy first?

   1. They might accidentally commit an academic integrity violation and face consequences
   2. Their parents will be called and they will be expelled
   3. They will definitely get an automatic zero with no chance to explain
   4. Nothing will happen because teachers rarely check for AI use

10. A student says, 'AI is new, so schools should just make one rule for everyone.' Why does the lesson suggest this isn't happening?

    1. The government has banned schools from making any AI rules
    2. AI technology is exactly the same in every subject
    3. Schools are still figuring out what works and different subjects need different approaches
    4. All schools have already decided their policies and it's too late to change

11. What is an 'AI policy' in the school context?

    1. A set of rules a teacher makes about when and how AI can be used for classwork
    2. A law passed by the government about AI in education
    3. An agreement between students to share AI-generated answers
    4. A list of all AI tools available to students

12. Why is it risky to assume that AI is always allowed unless told otherwise?

    1. AI is never allowed in any school
    2. School rules about AI are illegal
    3. Different assignments in the same class can have different rules
    4. Teachers don't actually have the authority to make AI rules

13. The lesson says to 'ask every teacher every class.' Why is this necessary?

    1. Asking is optional and only matters for big projects
    2. Teachers change their minds every single day
    3. Even the same teacher might have different rules for different assignments
    4. Students must get written permission from the principal for each class

14. Before the first assignment in a new class, what does the lesson suggest students do?

    1. Search online for that teacher's old syllabi
    2. Wait to see what other students do and copy them
    3. Assume the policy is the same as their last class
    4. Email or talk to the teacher to ask about their specific AI policy

15. The lesson compares 'asking first' to 'apologizing later.' What is the main point of this comparison?

    1. Getting clarification prevents problems better than trying to fix mistakes after
    2. You should never say sorry for anything
    3. Teachers prefer students who make mistakes
    4. Apologizing is never useful in school
