Welcome, to the PhD Corner

The problem statement drives your entire dissertation. It is something that no one else has directly addressed, and you are going to apply the PhD writing process to addressing it through a hypothesis.

This is your opportunity to fully understand the problem, its history, uniqueness, and pitfalls that sets the stage for the methodology you will use. It also helps you understand the qualitive nature of your study even if you are doing a quantitative or mixed study.
