To facilitate this, we were instructed to create a concept map to connect ideas related to our major with potential research topics, displayed in Figure 1.2. Through this process, we explored relevant subtopics that helped generate possible research questions, as illustrated in Figure 1.1. From this list, I selected the question that resonated most with me: &#8220;Does AI in Education increase Student Knowledge?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building upon our preparatory work, we developed a detailed outline to serve as a roadmap for crafting our initial draft.

The background paragraph is very descriptive abut the background of the topic including information about AI and how it has been used in education in the beginning of its use, up until its uses now. There is also a nice transition into the problems of the topic.<br>5. There are a total of 14 in-text citations. They are all correct. I made a comment for one of them, but since it still includes the last name, it is fine.<br>6. From what I counted, there are 10 references. I made one comment about making it a little easier to read them, but they all look to be in proper formatting.<br>7. Yes, the concept map was removed.<br>8.
