Writing a Conclusion for Your Academic Essay

Dear Student,

When it comes to writing the conclusion for an academic paper, some students get it wrong. Many struggle to come up with a punchy and convincing conclusion because they often think that a conclusion is simply a repetition of what they have written in the essay.

This email will show you how to create a powerful conclusion that will ensure your paper ends on a high note.

Why do you need a conclusion?

Academic papers come in different sizes. Sometimes when a reader gets to the end of your paper, they may have forgotten some of the main points you made. Many readers will not have the time to reread the paper. So, you have to help them remember the main points that the paper carried.

Clarity is key

The conclusion is not the time to put across your points. Therefore, you are not expected to introduce new ideas at this point. Use the conclusion to articulate the following:

• Remind the reader what the paper addressed.
• Reiterate the thesis.
• Synthesize the main points and present them in a few sentences.
• Show the reader why the contents of the essay are valuable.
• Provide the answer to the question that the paper addresses.

If there are any issues related to the topic that you believe can still be explored, use the conclusion to suggest them.
