Too Broad

The idea
A thesis is too broad when its angle is so general that it could support almost anything.
In practice
"Hospice workers need support" has a topic and an angle, but the angle is so wide that the paper may drift.
Where people slip
A broad angle makes it easy to include information that wanders away from the point.
