TOPIC: CONCLUSION
What it is?
A conclusion is the last paragraph in your research paper, or the last part in any other type
of presentation. The conclusion is intended to help the reader understand why your research should
matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. A conclusion is not merely a summary
of your points or a re-statement of your research problem but a synthesis of key points. For most
essays, one well-developed paragraph is sufficient for a conclusion, although in some cases, a two-
or-three paragraph conclusion may be required.
The conclusion is the last, yet not the easiest part of a research paper. It must summarize
the whole paper and explain its main purpose. This section also shouldn’t sound too dry. Any
conclusion consists of a few elements, so you can choose different approaches depending on your
agenda and the paper type.
The conclusion contains insights drawn from the findings per sub problem. It summarizes
the principal features of the study. It is simply stated, devoid of any elaborated discussion of the
findings. Each item in the conclusion is precise statement directly answering the stated problems.
These specific statements serves a bases for the formulation of the general conclusions of the study.
The conclusion subsection discusses the generalizations, deductions, and inferences that
can be obtained from your finding. The conclusion subsection does not follow a one-to-one
correspondence relative to your research question or objectives. You need to have one conclusion
that directly addresses your general research problem.

How to write it?

A conclusion is, in some ways, like your introduction. You restate your thesis and
summarize your main points of evidence for the reader. You can usually do this in one paragraph.
In the following example, the thesis statement is in bold. Notice that it is written in 2 sentences.
This is a stylistic choice for impact.
Example:
The problem of teen gang violence can be eliminated. It will, however, take time, money,
and a combined effort on the part of many people. Organized, free, after-school programs such as:
sports teams and games; art, music, and drama activities; internships in local area businesses and
professional organizations; and interesting volunteer activities in the community would help
engage teens in worthwhile pursuits outside of school hours. More job opportunities for teens,
especially those funded by state and local programs, would offer income for teens as well as
productive work for the community. Outreach to families through schools, community
organizations, and places of worship would help promote inter-generational activities that could
improve family closeness, helping teens to work on their problems at the family level, instead of
taking them to the streets. If these programs can be implemented, we will surely see a decrease in
teen gang activity and safer streets and neighbourhoods for us all.
Strategies to help you move beyond merely summarizing the key points of your research paper
may include any of the following.

If your essay deals with a contemporary problem, warn readers of the possible
consequences of not attending to the problem.
 Recommend a specific course or courses of action.
Cite a relevant quotation or expert opinion to lend authority to the conclusion you have
reached a good place to look is research from your literature review.
Restate a key statistic, fact, or visual image to drive home the ultimate point of your paper.
If your discipline encourages personal reflection, illustrate your concluding point with a
relevant narrative drawn from your own life experiences.
Return to an anecdote, an example, or a quotation that you introduced in your introduction,
but add further insight that is derived from the findings of your study; use your interpretation of
results to reframe it in new ways.
Provide a "take-home" message in the form of a strong, succinct statement that you want
the reader to remember about your study.

My Own Conclusion
In this part of research, it is very important that we have to base our conclusion to the
results or finding of our study. We need to give all our findings base on our study and it is important
that we are honest enough in writing our conclusion. Conclusion is the summary of the results
from the statement of the problems of the study.
