Body: defining, introducing & applying “ill structured problem”How do I know an ISP when I have one? I know I have an ISP because it is difficult to solve. The difficulty can be caused by obstacles. There are three kinds of obstacles related to ISP: those I can control, thoise I cant and those which are a combination. Sometimes a problem can become ill-structured that is normally well-structured. This would include when a person doesn’t have the required prior knowledge, when there are Time constraints. A series of problems can create a larger ill-structured problem.
