Thanks Prof!
Thank you so much for your guidance
My favorite channel 🎉
Very concise and explicit. Your videos are a top guide. Thank you very much, Sir.
Thank you very much. Please tell me about yourself. Are you studying PhD?
This was very good. Most of us have to stumble through this process and eventually have enough experience to find these steps however this was a lovely summary of the process of choosing topics to research based on defining problems and assessing their potential impact.
Thank you for your nice message.
I realised that many guides are somewhat general and broad, making it challenging for researchers to apply them effectively. So, I created this step-by-step guide to help researchers write a more specific and actionable problem statement. Hope it is beneficial! :)
Great presentation: straight forward and concise, with lots of examples.
Thank you very much for your nice comment! :)
Great explanation in concise and organised manner
Very educative. Thanks.

Thank you for providing a clear and easy to understand VDO. Thank you so much for your guidance and sharing.
I'm from Ivory Coast and I find this video very insightful and helpful for Phd Student like me. I would like to know, Where exactly is the place of the Problem Statement in the Research Background when adressing a thesis dissertation, At the end? After the context? And what make them different ? I'm always confuse about that!
Thanks Dr. Saeed!
Nice video bro, it help me a lot ❤

Am from Malawi l have been assisted with your videos as am in the final year doing research. Well articulated but need further clarification on literature review if possible
Wow!! That's excellent sir, to know between research observation, norms and research problem which of this comes first and which following in writing a research statement?
Dr. Saeed, thank you for your insightful video on How to Write a Problem Statement.... I found it really interesting and useful. Do you have such insightful videos of doing a case study research and action research?
Liked it
So helpful

Great Prof
Thank you Yila
It's a goods video
Thanks Dr
You’re welcome 😊
Sir, thanks for the best way to explain, sir kindly make a video on how to include background theory by linking it in the current study with practical examples..
Thank you very much for sharing this great idea! I added it to the list of future videos! Stay tuned! ☺
good one.❤
Thank you for your comment 😊
Thanks sir
So nice of you
Found worthy investing time in this video
Thank you very much 😊
Very good video and encouraging. However, choosing a research topic used to be one of the main huddles during graduate programs. However, the recent rise in graduate students with fewer lecturers has birthed a new form of delay in the world of academia. Lecturers, or thesis advisers or supervisors have become increasing occupied with other aspects and may have little time for their students. If you are looking for someone to review your dissertation/thesis in the fields of social sciences and humanities, then I am the right Reviewer for you.
Very informative, need practical explanation for problem statement with any your article
Sure I will.
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you Dr. I cant find the link for contribution you mentioned in this video. Do you mind sharing it again?
Handsome person with handsome presentation❤️
Thank you very much for your nice comment. Could you please tell me about yourself?
Informative lecture,,,,,however you should also include an example for problem statement as you did in explaining background.
Well explained,.
I am a master student,let me confess that I am failing to write a problem statement.Three attempts and all not successful 😢
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. I HAVE REALLY LEARNT A LOT ABOUT PROBLEM STATEMENT. CAN YOU PLESASE HELP ME WITH RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY? I MEAN THE DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU
❤
❤❤❤

Hi, Dr, Saeed:
I have rewatched the video of problem statement and background information for several times.
Your structure of each part is very clear, while i think there are some overlap contents in the two parts.
In the section of background information, i need to mention the general picture of my topic, summerize what have been done in this field and then narrow down to the key terms of my title and end up the research gaps.
The middle part is the context of my research.
In the section of problem statement, it includes what we already know, what we don't know (literature deficiencies), the study's significance and how will you do with the research.
So the research gaps are mentioned in the two parts. Personally, I think the main idea of background information is to tell readers the big picture in the field and the problem statement is focused on the real problem and research gaps.
My question is : How to smoothly transit and connect the two sections ? (
Thank you for your message and the summary of the two videos. I completely understand that there may be some overlap between certain parts. It is true that there are sections that appear similar but serve different purposes. This difference is often seen between academic theses and research/consultancy reports in the industry. In the industry, we typically use approaches like MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) to ensure that the report is broken down into distinct components. However, in a thesis, there are many parts that may seem repetitive. For instance, you need to highlight the research gaps in different sections of your work. It's no wonder that a PhD thesis can reach lengths of 70,000 to 100,000 words!
Nevertheless, different styles exist. For example, some theses may not have a separate "background of the study" section. When you write your background, follow my approach and ensure that you prepare the audience for the subsequent sections of your report or thesis. For the problem statement, adhere to the 4-section approach that I covered in the video. This is because many examiners and readers often read the problem statement independently. In many cases, the problem statement is the first section they read in your work. Therefore, write the problem statement in a way that can be understood without necessarily reading other parts of your work. Remember to keep it concise and focused. Avoid writing a 20-page problem statement! Based on my personal preference, a 5-page problem statement should suffice.
@@saeedsharif Moring, Dr, Saeed:
Thanks for your kind and detailed reply.
You are right and I got your meaning, during the PD, the panels indeed focus on the problem statement. So your four steps of problem statement will show a complete picture of my research, without reading other sections.
Thanks for your useful suggestion.
@@lydiazhang7390 As one of the loyal viewers of my videos, I would like to share something with you. This is an observation I've made from attending numerous proposal defenses and PhD viva presentations as a PhD program director, examiner, or supervisor. Almost always, students receive comments on their problem statement. Examiners typically read this section of the thesis and provide feedback. Moreover, based on my observation, in some cases, they may give comments merely for the sake of giving comments. It is rare to fully satisfy the examiners, and the problem statement is an area where you should anticipate receiving feedback. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively about it. Revisit and revise your problem statement using my approach, and resubmit it.
Prof. Thank for your clear explanation of problem statement. Please could you provide and example with the 4 parts of it?
@@berhanuaebissa9955 Thank you for your comment. I'll create a sample later. In the meantime, please watch the other videos in this series. I have included several samples and good examples to follow in those videos. One of the reasons I didn't provide a sample in this video was that I didn't want to use my students' (especially my PhD students') work without their consent. However, I plan to make a sample specifically for the purpose of the videos in the future.
Your videos are awesome. It is very easy to follow. But there is one gap and that is you didn't share a single sample of problem statement.
Please must include 2-3 examples with each topic Which shows how you practically applied the rules.
Thanks❤
Hi Dr.
My research topic is influence of image repositioning and crisis management on indomie noodles brand patronage and the future if SMEs.

Let me know how you may formulate your problem statement following the instructions provided in the video. Best of luck with your work.
Sir, can you make some tutorials for economics and business students?
Sir I am really impress about your lecture but my concerns here is in chapter one after my introduction, significant of the study do you mean that I have to follow all of your guidelines in stating my problem in chapter one alone because I am writing a project proposal, thank you very much sir
Am
Currently doing my PhD by research on public policy but am finding challenges with the research the problem statement
I see. It's an interesting and relevant topic. And I understand the challenges. What's your methodology in this research?
