I don't completely agree with statement as I believe it just depends on the person more than anything some people feel more awake in the mornings more energetic and some get a burst at night which is perfect for studying or homework. As well as the article or website you used for this doesn't seem to be the most reliable and is more of a opinion based article.

While this is a nice article and offers some helpful points, I wish there was more context or detail. It would be great to see an excerpt from the original article or more examples to support the ideas. This would make the argument stronger and provide a clearer, more complete picture. Overall, a bit more information would improve the article.

I think there is Pros and cons of studying both at night and other times of the day, think you did a good job of showing both but I do think the claim was overall misleading.

This response was thoughtful and helpful in breaking down the original argument. It carefully analyzed each point, offering clear reasoning to challenge the claims made. The response showed a strong understanding of the topic, pointing out flaws and offering well-supported counterpoints. It provided a clearer view of the issue and made it easier to see where the original argument was weak. Overall, it was an effective analysis that helped deepen understanding of the topic.

This fact check could be much more effective if the person were to use sources to support their ideas. Instead, they simply state their personal opinion and ideas that reflect their personal experience. Because of this, this fact check becomes less of a fact check and more of an opinion piece.

Answer 1

For this fact check I am going to use the SIFT method!

1. The initial claim is that studying at night is better, and they link an article by Scholarly Blog. While I have heard of Scholarly as an academic AI tool for students, I did not know they wrote articles like this and their credibility is a bit shaky. In the article they list reasons why studying at night could be beneficial… but while using AI. They continuously plug the idea of utilizing AI to help students study, and because they are an AI company it is more of a personal advertisement and promotion, as well as they don’t link any sources for their data.

2. While looking into the topic I found two articles; one by the London School of Business and Finance and another by Oxford Learning, where they discussed the pros of studying at various times of the day. Rather than giving a biased opinion they stated the unique benefits of studying at different times of day and advised students to pick which feels best for them. In a third article I found published by the Baylor Loriat, a student newspaper, author Brittany Tankersley shared her own personal opinion about studying, and how she advises to do it at night, which is her own personal preference. 

3. Overall, arguments can be made for wether or not studying at night is “better” but at the end of the day it is all personal preference, and every student has their own times or methods to get their school work done.

Answer 2

The claim that studying at night is the best is not true because everyone has their own studying habits; it takes time to establish a studying routine and find what the best time is for yourself. Some students feel more motivated in the morning and others at night. According to science the best time to study is between 10 am and 2 pm, and from 4 pm to 10 pm. This is when the brain is in acquisition mode and most active.  Science also stipulates that studying in the early morning between 4 and 7 am is ineffective because it interferes with your circadian rhythm. That being said, there is no perfect time to study because everyone develops their own habits and patterns.
