1. What is the main idea of "Onboarding Engineers in an AI-Augmented Codebase"?

   1. New engineers used to learn by reading code. Now they often use AI to learn faster — but lose the deep understanding. The onboarding playbook shifts.
   2. Use AI as the final authority for the whole decision
   3. Avoid checking the answer once it sounds polished
   4. Focus only on speed instead of judgment

2. Which concept is most central to "Onboarding Engineers in an AI-Augmented Codebase"?

   1. AI-augmented learning
   2. onboarding
   3. deep understanding
   4. unrelated shortcut

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Replace senior engineer mentorship with AI alone
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Use AI to explain unfamiliar code (faster than humans)
   4. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation

4. Which limitation should you watch for in this topic?

   1. Use AI to explain unfamiliar code (faster than humans)
   2. Explain the topic in plain language
   3. Organize a draft for human review
   4. Replace senior engineer mentorship with AI alone

5. What should a careful learner remember about "AI-augmented onboarding plan"?

   1. Use "AI-augmented onboarding plan" as a reminder to verify the AI output before anyone relies on it.
   2. Skip the context so the tool can guess faster
   3. Treat the output as private even after sharing it online
   4. Use the answer without checking the source

6. You want to use AI after this lesson. What is the safest next step?

   1. Act immediately because the AI answer is written clearly
   2. Use AI for drafting and comparison, but verify before publishing or relying on it.
   3. Hide uncertainty so the final answer looks cleaner
   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

7. How should AI output about onboarding be treated?

   1. As proof that no other source is needed
   2. As a replacement for context, consent, or expert review
   3. As a draft or helper output that still needs human judgment and verification
   4. As something that becomes correct when it sounds confident

8. Name one way to verify an AI answer about onboarding.

9. Which action would help you apply "Onboarding Engineers in an AI-Augmented Codebase" responsibly?

   1. Substitute AI for the codebase knowledge built over time
   2. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   3. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   4. Require new engineers to do first changes hands-on without AI (depth-building)

10. Which choice is a bad use of AI for this lesson?

    1. Substitute AI for the codebase knowledge built over time
    2. Use AI to explain unfamiliar code (faster than humans)
    3. Ask for a plain-language explanation of AI-augmented learning
    4. Compare the answer with a trusted source
