Raw Preview of Attachment:(refer to the detailed question and attachment below)
One reason I recommend to students to do a proposal, which lays out what one narrates over a few paragraphs what one identifies the problem or issues one is going to write about, the key points one needs to research, and what the paper hopes to learn, is to identify early what one hopes to conclude in a paper. The conclusion is the most important element as the conclusion is the reason one writes a paper, not the material that supports it. Though a conclusion must have that support. The conclusion is the purpose behind the paper. The first thing you need to do is think through what the general lesson is you want the reader to learn. Then what specific, in your case, recommendations you want the reader to take away. After the paper is written, and you have what you believe is your well developed conclusion, go back to the body of the paper and make sure that all the key points have been made to support both the lessons and the recommendations. As nothing should be new to the paper at this point, you do not need footnotes in your conclusion or summary, should you have one. If there is data you find you need to make your concluding points, go back and revise the appropriate section of the paper, then use the data from that revision to make your point. The exception is you can use a new quote, related to something else that was stated, if the quote was only appropriate to what you want to conclude. Then you would footnote the new quote. But this should be done sparingly. You can reiterate quotes that have already been stated. If you have a summary, you transition from the summary to the conclusion. Lay out specifically what it is the reader should have learned from the body. Provide your analysis and thoughts of why this lesson occurred and/or why it is important. You will generally only have a summary for papers that exceed 25 or more pages, or has a very complex set of lessons. Transition then to your lessons from the paper. Ask yourself what is it I want the reader to learn from the key points, issues, problems, arguments, etc. that I laid out in the body of the paper. Make an outline of what you argued, and resolved in the paper, or will resolve in the lessons based on the material in the body. Make sure that you dont leave lose ends, generally by going off on related tangents, nice to know, but superfluous to the actual lessons and takeaway you intended. You need to decide how to resolve any discrepancies by either eliminating the extraneous issues, tying them to the arguments in a way that supports the main arguments, or by drawing further lessons that will enhance the paper. Based on the lessons, the topic, and the size of the paper, one will follow the lessons with some takeaway. This can be a solution to a problem, a solution that should have been tried but wasnt, an alternative view to a problem or solution, a unique perspective, and/or,very specific recommendations., or for shorter papers, simply a good concluding statement bring the paper to closure. A good concluding paragraph is appropriate for longer conclusions as well. The points in the overall conclusion must be well developed and detailed. Dont leave anything to your readers imagination. You walked the reader to this point, dont abandon him or her now. Utilize any examples or data from your previous chapters that will help you make your points. Do not use examples that were not written about previously -- remember no new data in a conclusion. A good rule of thumb for conclusions is one paragraph of conclusion for every two to three pages of text. This is not an absolute number, but for papers between 10 and 25 pages, this rule is a pretty good gauge of an effective conclusion. Bear in mind that a very focused five paragraph essay, which is about one and half to two pages in length will, in theory, have one paragraph conclusion. If one has a paper in excess of two pages, how can one have a conclusion that is no longer than that of a basic one idea essay The more complex the paper, the more detailed and deep the conclusion has to be.
