findings.
 The findings should be textual generalization, that is a
summary of the important data consisting of text and
numbers.
 Only the important findings, the highlights of the data,
should be included in the summary.

conclusion is not merely a summary of
your points or a re-statement of your
research problem but a synthesis of
key points.
