When you're writing, you're trying to find out something which you don't know. The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don't want to know, what you don't want to find out. But something forces you to anyway.

Gotta keep returning to this message:
Writing helps us clarify thinking and develop understanding. Even though AI can now produce passable academic prose, students still need the experience of forming text to reflect their own emerging ideas and voice. #ChatGPTedu #AItextedu

Writing tip. Create a bad first draft, a first draft is not supposed to be perfect. Use your first draft as an opportunity to put your thoughts on paper. Then concern yourself with editing after you have all your thoughts written down.

It’s crucial to understand the difference between a research question & a research hypotheses. As many find it confusing.
