Module 3 — AI for Research & Thinking

About this assessment

Module 3 — AI for Research & Thinking checks that you can apply the material, not just recognise it. It contains 10 questions drawn from the lessons in this module, and you need 80% to pass. Attempts are unlimited, your score is saved to your progress, and every question you miss is listed afterwards with the lesson to revisit.

Final Assessment.

What it covers

• AI as a Research Partner — Where AI genuinely accelerates research and where it quietly misleads.
• The FOCUS Research Framework — A structure for turning a fuzzy question into a searchable, answerable one.
• Judging Source Quality — How to tell evidence from plausible-sounding filler.
• Summarising Without Distortion — Condensing long documents while keeping the conditions and exceptions.
• Comparing Options — Building criteria-based comparisons that survive scrutiny.
• The DECIDE Decision Framework — Using AI to stress-test a decision rather than rubber-stamp it.
• Fact-Checking AI Output — A fast verification routine for numbers, quotes and claims.

How the assessment works

• • 10 multiple-choice questions, mostly short workplace scenarios.
• • 80% is the pass mark — there is no time limit.
• • Unlimited attempts; questions are the same set so review matters more than luck.
• • Passing unlocks the next module, so the course stays sequential.

If you do not pass

Nothing is lost. Your missed questions are shown with the related lesson, so the fastest route is to re-read those sections and retake the assessment the same day. Most learners pass on the second attempt after a targeted review.
