1. What is the first step recommended before asking an AI tool to generate a UI design?

   1. Name the specific job you need done before mentioning any particular tool
   2. Write a detailed prompt about button colors and fonts
   3. Ask the AI what tools it recommends
   4. Install the latest version of the design software

2. When instructing an AI to help with a design task, what does 'write the smallest useful scope' mean?

   1. Give the AI a tiny piece of the overall project that can be completed in one response
   2. Focus only on making the design visually appealing
   3. Write the brief as briefly as possible, even if it lacks necessary details
   4. Have the AI create multiple versions simultaneously

3. Why should you run a design result 'as a user, not as a fan of the tool'?

   1. Because AI tools are unreliable and should be doubted
   2. To test the tool's technical capabilities instead of the design
   3. Because users always prefer complex interfaces
   4. To identify actual usability problems rather than just appreciating what the AI produced

4. What three things should you inspect before sharing an AI-generated design with others?

   1. The team members' preferences, budget constraints, and timeline
   2. The AI's processing time, token count, and API calls
   3. The font choices, color palette, and image resolution
   4. The diff (changes), data access, and failure path

5. When evaluating an AI-generated design change, what question should you ask about the user?

   1. What should the user be able to do when this is finished?
   2. How much did the user pay for this feature?
   3. When was the user account created?
   4. Which AI model did the user prefer?

6. Which of the following represents data that an AI-generated app should NEVER expose to users?

   1. The application's main navigation menu
   2. The company's public contact information
   3. Internal system architecture details, database credentials, and other sensitive infrastructure information
   4. User-facing error messages

7. What kind of test proves that a design change actually works?

   1. A test that verifies the code has no syntax errors
   2. A test that demonstrates the specific user action now functions as intended
   3. A test that shows the AI can generate the design quickly
   4. A test that confirms the design looks visually appealing

8. Why is it important to establish a rollback path before implementing an AI-generated design change?

   1. To give users a choice between old and new designs permanently
   2. To comply with legal requirements for software updates
   3. To be able to revert to a working state if the new design causes problems
   4. To allow the AI to generate multiple undo options

9. In a design critique loop, what does 'hierarchy' refer to?

   1. The visual order that shows which elements are most important
   2. The way data is stored in a database
   3. The timeline for completing the design project
   4. The organizational structure of the design team

10. What does 'density' mean when critiquing a user interface?

    1. The file size of the design assets
    2. The physical size of the display screen
    3. How much information and functionality is packed into a given space
    4. The number of designers working on the project

11. In the context of UI design, what does 'accessibility' specifically address?

    1. How quickly the interface loads on different devices
    2. The cost of implementing the design
    3. The visual appeal of the design to average users
    4. Whether people with disabilities can effectively use the interface

12. What does 'workflow' mean when included in a design critique?

    1. The order in which designers create the mockups
    2. The sequence of steps a user takes to accomplish a task
    3. The automated processes running on the server
    4. The payment processing flow

13. What distinguishes a skilled designer from someone who just accepts an AI's first output?

    1. Using the most expensive AI model available
    2. Writing longer and more detailed prompts
    3. Turning the AI demo into something observable, reversible, and safe for others to use
    4. Generating more variations than anyone else on the team

14. How do the strongest AI design workflows differ from simply accepting polished mockups?

    1. They rely entirely on the AI's initial suggestions
    2. They require multiple rounds of payment before proceeding
    3. They avoid using AI for any design tasks
    4. They use critique and constraints to refine the design before accepting it

15. What role do 'constraints' play in a strong AI design workflow?

    1. They speed up the AI's processing time
    2. They make the design more visually complex
    3. They limit what the AI generates to ensure the result meets specific requirements
    4. They increase the number of design variations produced
