PromptEffectively concluding your paper is an important component of written
communication. In this video, Ms. Liu from Scribbr provides guidance on how to write a
strong conclusion for your paper.Is this content not working?Significantly, Ms. Liu points
out several common problems in conclusions that we see submitted by students,
including:Using common phrases like “to sum up” or “in conclusion” which makes your
writing sound weak.Introducing new evidence and information in the conclusion. This is not
part of a strong conclusion – never do this. If that information did not warrant inclusion and
discussion in the body of your paper, don’t cram it into the conclusion.Undermining your
own argument in the conclusion. The conclusion should be where you reinforce the
persuasiveness of your thesis by summarizing the strengths of your key
arguments.InstructionsOnce you have published your own conclusion, share the conclusion
in the forum for other students to read and reflect on. Your introduction should be shared
as your initial forum post and not attached as a separate document. At this point, your
introduction is simply a publish and it should be further revised and edited before
submission, so don’t feel like you must share what will be your final polished conclusion.
You should not, however, take this as an opportunity to share a poorly conceived, rushed,
‘placeholder’ conclusion. It must be a serious publish of your developing conclusion.
