Q With a research topic in hand, a carefully constructed problem statement will set the stage for the smooth development of a research paper. The research problem statement should include keywords such as; ‘purpose,’ ‘intent,’ or ‘objective’ to ensure the research has a direction and can adequately present a conclusion or solution. Check that the topic and problem statement have a narrow concept so that one idea can be explored, and the research paper stays on topic. The research problem statement should also include verbs, such as ‘describe,’ ‘understand,’ ‘develop,’ ‘examine,’ ‘discover,’ to indicate what the audience can expect from the research. Lastly, show how the research will be conducted using a word such as ‘collect,’ ‘synthesize,’ and ‘analyze.’ For this discussion, post a summary of your research paper problem statement. In addition, comment on at least two of your classmates' posts, contributing to their conversation to enhance their research paper development. Be sure to present any ideas, questions, or thoughts to classmates in this discussion or directly to your instructor.
