Topic 2: All the World's a Stage: Framing the Problem Statement

This time out, our objective, dear cyber-scholars, will be to get a head start on the all-important doctoral research proposal! Specifically, we'll talk about the following key areas:

The WHAT you are planning to study: "Statement of the Problem" and any associated sub problems;
Front-ended by WHY you feel this topic/area is important to study: the "Purpose of the Study;" and
Followed by the SO WHAT - WHO you expect will BENEFIT from your study, and HOW: the "Significance of the Study;"
And this will all be capped off by an "Introduction" subsection that sort of SETS THE STAGE for the entirety of your study.
