Conclusion

APA format is followed throughout the paper. Uses in-text citations and references correctly. The paper has an introduction and conclusion. Spelling, grammar, and organization are appropriate, professional, and correct.

“A conclusion works to remind your reader of the main points of your paper and summarizes what you want your reader to ‘take away’ from your discussion. Consider these tips when writing your conclusion: Begin with your rephrased thesis statement to remind your reader of the point of your paper. Summarize the points you made in your paper and show how they support your argument; tie all the pieces of your paper together. Tell your reader what the significance of your argument might be. Why is the discussion important? Do you want your reader to think differently, question something, or perform some action? Make a recommendation of what your reader should ‘do’ with the information you just gave them, or share the importance of the topic” (Ashford University, 2019).
