This assignment is NOT the writing of a dissertation, it is the development of the dissertation.
Assessment Description

need the research will fulfill. The problem statement must be supported by literature that upholds the need to explore the problem. In this assignment, you will construct an initial supported problem
statement for your intended research topic.
