A thesis statement, sometimes called
a problem statement, is a declarative
statement (usually one but
sometimes two or more sentences)
that clarifies your specific topic,
presents your opinion of (not merely
facts) the topic, and incorporates
qualifications or limitations necessary
to understand your views.
A hypothesis is a conjectural
statement that guides an argument
or investigation; it can be explored
(and potentially proved or disproved)
by examining data related to your
topic. Conditional in nature, a
hypothesis is assessed using available
information.
A Stated Objective is a brief, wellfocused statement that describes a
research paper that presents
information. Unsubtle and not
arguable, it must define the topic
clearly and narrow the topic when
necessary
