The main objective is to evaluate how Quillbot's features help students improve their vocabulary, grammar, and writing abilities while also lowering their writing anxiety. 204 university students, ranging in educational level from diploma to post-doctoral, from public and private universities in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain participated in the study. A quantitative survey was used to gather the data, which was then subjected to descriptive statistics, T-tests, and ANOVA analysis.
