Use this PREP Journal to document your AP Research progress:

Create entries regularly to track your research journey. These should be both text and video (at least one video a week).

Include your current research stage (e.g., Topic Selection, Literature Review, Method Development)

Share any questions or concerns you have about your research

Attach relevant documents or resources that support your work

Reflect on your progress and learning experiences

This timeline format will help you visualize your research development throughout the year.

Understanding my readers values, interests, and needs can help make my paper more engaging by allowing me to better cater to them. If i know what my reader is looking for in a paper, I can be sure to include that in order to make the paper more appealing to them. In this case, my audience is people interested in the field of music generated by artificial intelligence. I do not know what they're opinion on the topic is so it is likely that in order to appeal to a wide audience, I will need to stay relatively neutral.

I think this project could go multiple ways in terms of my role. It would be easy to be an advocate, because I personally do not support AI music, however that is not the direction I think would be best for the outcome of the project. Being an impartial reporter on the subtopic within AI music that I choose to investigate would likely yield the best results.

Can people tell the difference between AI generated and real music?

How does music elicit emotion?

This source gives information on the effectiveness of human-made classical music when studying. I believe this will mostly be useful as source of baseline information about my topic. I also may able to use their methods or metrics in my own study in order to determine the results of my experiment.

I believe this source will be useful during the beginning of my research, but will become less useful as I move along.

I like the idea of focusing on a specific group of students (this uses middle schoolers), I had not considered the group which I would study.

Mr. Allen should know that I do not have access to the entire source and can only read up to the lit review as I believe I have to pay for it.

I believe my problem is more practical, as the results of the study could have direct effects. If it turns out AI generated classical music is measurably better for studying, that means more people may use AI music, which is bad, both ethically and for the environment.

I should emphasize the ethical, legal, and environmental aspects of using AI to generate music.

Ethical: AI cannot by nature create original works

Legal: copyright issues as a result of the above

Environmental: AI uses a lot of water

When the "so what" test is applied, it boils down to the previously mentioned problems. Regardless of the outcome of the experiment, there are obvious issues with the existence of AI generated music.

Document Setup

1. Margins: Set all page margins (top, bottom, left, and right) to 1 inch.

2. Font: Use a readable font, such as 12-point Times New Roman.

3. Spacing: Double-space the entire paper, including the Works Cited page.

4. Alignment: The text should be left-aligned.

First Page Formatting

1. Heading: In the upper-left corner, include your name, instructor's name, course name, and date on separate lines.

2. Title: Center the title of your paper on the next line, without any italics, bolding, or underlining.

3. Paragraphs: Indent the first line of each paragraph ½ inch from the left margin.

Page Numbers

1. Header: Create a header that is present on every page.

2. Placement: Place the header in the upper-right corner, one-half inch from the top of the page.

3. Content: Include your last name followed by the page number (e.g., "Smith 1").

Works Cited Page

1. Placement: Start your Works Cited page on a new page at the end of your paper.

2. Title: Center the title "Works Cited" at the top of the page in plain text.

3. Entries: List your sources alphabetically by the author's last name.

4. Indentation: Use a hanging indent for each entry, which indents every line except the first.

I have not put much thought into summarizing my sources outside of my annotated bibliography. I want to divide the sources into subsections based on their information. Currently, subsections include foundational materials regarding music, previous studies on AI generated music, and potentially information about how AI generated music is made, or a brief history. From there, I will summarize the information into a coherent couple of paragraphs that hopefully flow into each other nicely.

I have not explicitly played the believing game with my sources, though I believe it will be necessary as some do not share my own personal views regarding AI generated music. I want my project to be unbiased, while still highlighting the many negative implications of artificially created music, which is the main argument for the importance of my study.

I have finished my annotated bibliography, and now I need to work on my lit review. I also need to think about how I am going to conduct my research working around my schedule next semester. As of right now I was thinking of conducting interviews/experimental procedures during school hours, however I will need to consider equipment and space requirements. I should also consider the participants I choose. Should it be random, or should I just use my friends? I'm not sure if it will make a difference in the results.

This video helps me better understand the goal of conducting interviews, and how to best conduct them so that they are the most valuable. My main study is not conducting interviews, though I may include some after the aforementioned study itself to gain insight into participant responses.

This video does not answer any specific questions, but does clarify the entire interview process in detail, which is useful as a framework for my own project. This also helps me plan for my methods section as it helps me better understand best practices for interviews.
