Conclusions
These will emerge from the analysis of the facts and the discussion.
Any conclusions you reach will not come direct from the results or
findings but as a logical outcome of the analysis and discussion. If you
have reasoned the case well in the discussion, the reader should be
taken along with you into the conclusions and would almost be able to
tell what they are before reading.
You may also have considered some possible options for
recommendations by this stage. After due consideration you may
'conclude' that some are workable and others are not. In this section
you might explain the advantages or benefits of particular courses of
action. This leads the reader nicely into the recommendations you will
make, because you will have shown by now that some
recommendations are just not viable whilst others have high potential.
Your reader should now have a fairly good idea of what you are going
to say in your next section.
Summary
● Reach conclusions from your reasoning during the discussion.
● Present relative advantages of various options.
