Dear Esraa, unfortunately, we do not have this template. Yet, we will let you know if we managed to get access to it
Dear Mahmoud,
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can cite preprints from arXiv in your paper, but you need to be careful about how you use them. Preprints are okay for talking about new trends or methods that are already known. However, you shouldn’t use them to back up important points or arguments in your paper. Since these papers haven’t been peer-reviewed, they don’t provide strong support for serious claims. For example, if you are discussing a new discovery that goes against earlier studies, and only preprint papers support it, then your discovery isn’t well-supported. You would need papers that have been peer-reviewed to really back up your findings.
Also, it’s not a good idea to rely only on preprint papers for designing experiments or methods, because they haven’t been thoroughly checked yet.
In summary, you can use arXiv papers to add extra information or to show smaller points in your paper, but they shouldn’t be the main evidence for your major findings and claims.
@Eman Tawakol, the quiz questions can only be answered after the quiz is closed, which occurs two weeks after the lecture opens. As for where to ask questions, we will dedicate a separate forum for each lecture’s questions to streamline the process. However, for now, you can post your queries in the scientific research forum.

Thank you for your inquiry. In our course structure, we prioritize maintaining fairness and preventing answer leakage among students. Therefore, immediate access to quiz answers is not provided. However, once the week’s quizzes have closed, we’ll gladly assist you by sharing the answers here. T
