I have difficulty writing a good summary (E3).


The conclusion is often read first,without proper knowledge of the rest of the report. Therefore, a general conclusion should largely stand on its own feet:

• Always repeat the research question(s) and also the sub-questions tackled in the respective chapters;
• Present a well-argued answer to these questions;
• Provide a careful consideration of what the consequences have been of flaws in your research methodology, or other practical research problems, for the validity of your answers; • Never add new information!;
• End with a good last line;
• Specify recommendations for further research.
