1. What is a primary capability of AI when auditing a research poster?

   1. Analyzing text density, font sizes, and color contrast against viewing-distance guidelines
   2. Writing the abstract and results sections based on uploaded data
   3. Predicting how conference attendees will emotionally respond to the presentation
   4. Determining which scientific findings are most essential to the research story

2. What minimum font size would an AI typically flag as problematic for a conference poster viewed from six feet?

   1. Smaller than 24pt
   2. Smaller than 48pt
   3. Smaller than 36pt
   4. Smaller than 14pt

3. Why is human feedback still essential after an AI has audited a poster for technical compliance?

   1. Humans can count words more accurately than AI algorithms
   2. Humans can judge whether the scientific story is clear and essential content is included
   3. Humans can check whether the poster uses the correct file format for printing
   4. Humans can verify that all citations follow the correct style guide

4. A poster with excellent font size, contrast, and density scores can still confuse attendees. What is the most likely reason?

   1. The essential scientific content was not effectively organized into a clear narrative
   2. The title was longer than recommended
   3. The colors used were too vibrant for the conference setting
   4. The poster was printed on glossy paper instead of matte

5. What is the final critical step the lesson recommends before printing a research poster?

   1. Run the poster through two additional AI auditing tools
   2. Submit the poster file to three different people for grammar checking
   3. Verify that all figures have captions under 15 words
   4. Pilot the poster with a colleague standing six feet away

6. An AI audit shows all sections meet density guidelines, but a peer reviewer is confused. What should be addressed?

   1. The organization and flow of the scientific story
   2. The contrast ratio of the section headers
   3. The color palette used for data visualization
   4. The font size of references

7. What combination represents the most effective approach to poster review?

   1. Only human reviewers since they catch everything
   2. AI audits technical design elements plus human evaluation of scientific clarity
   3. AI generates the content while humans check the spelling
   4. Only AI since it can detect every possible issue

8. Which aspect of a research poster can AI directly measure and score?

   1. If the conclusions appropriately address the research question
   2. Word count relative to recommended density targets for each section
   3. How other researchers in the field would interpret the findings
   4. Whether the methodology section tells a compelling story

9. What is something AI cannot do when reviewing a research poster, even with advanced capabilities?

   1. Calculate whether word density exceeds recommendations
   2. Detect when color contrast fails accessibility standards
   3. Flag fonts smaller than 24pt for legibility issues
   4. Decide what content is essential to communicate the scientific story

10. Why is the 'six-feet test' valuable when evaluating a research poster?

    1. It reveals whether the poster fits on a standard easel
    2. It allows the author to read every word without squinting
    3. It simulates how attendees will actually view the poster at a conference
    4. It tests whether the file exports correctly to PDF

11. When an AI provides a fix list ordered by impact, what should guide the author's prioritization?

    1. Prioritizing color changes over text density changes
    2. Starting with the smallest font sizes first
    3. Addressing issues that most severely affect legibility and comprehension first
    4. Fixing every issue the AI mentions in the order listed

12. How does AI analysis of text density benefit a poster author?

    1. It automatically rewrites sections that are too dense
    2. It predicts whether the poster will be accepted to the conference
    3. It provides objective measurement comparing current density to recommended targets
    4. It determines which sections readers will find most interesting

13. What might a researcher miss if they only used AI auditing and skipped human feedback?

    1. Whether color contrast meets minimum ratios
    2. Whether specific fonts are below the 24pt threshold
    3. Whether the scientific narrative is confusing to a domain expert
    4. Whether word counts exceed density recommendations

14. Why is color contrast particularly important for conference posters?

    1. Colors naturally fade during the printing process
    2. The conference venue requires all materials to meet ADA compliance
    3. Posters are viewed under varying lighting conditions and from different distances
    4. Low contrast makes the poster more visually appealing

15. After receiving an AI audit report, what should a researcher prioritize first?

    1. Issues that have the highest impact on legibility and clarity
    2. Only issues related to color schemes
    3. Every issue mentioned regardless of severity
    4. Only issues related to font selection
