Learning Checks
PRACTICAL-AI-WORK-L02-Q01
Learning check one. A colleague asks an assistant to write something about sales, but wants the fictional manager briefing from our notes. What information should the brief add before you can judge the result? Pause and decide before the explanation.
PRACTICAL-AI-WORK-L02-Q02
Learning check two. In a different fictional task, the source says the office closes on Friday. A revision makes the announcement friendlier, but the new draft says Thursday. Has the revision produced an acceptable improvement, and what comparison would show that it helped? Pause before the explanation.
