Is it researchable? Is it open-ended? Is it clear?

How does group practice help students create better research questions?

It encourages collaboration and idea-sharing, helping refine and improve questions.

What topics might students choose during group practice?

This is a bonus question. Examples include animals, education, environment, or technology.

How can you check if your research question is feasible?

By ensuring there are enough resources and time to explore the question.
