Many students want to write "in conclusion..." and this is never the right way to end any type of essay or term paper. Often conclusions are the most difficult parts of the essay for a student to write. Students often believe they have stated everything they know in the beginning and middle sections of the essay so the conclusion is not important. However, this is wrong. The conclusion is one of the most important sections of an essay ranking with the introduction.
Conclusions should summarize the thesis statement with the supporting points of the essay. It is important to leave a take away value or main point with the reader. A conclusion should clearly show the ending of the essay. The conclusion should tell the reader why the essay was important with reflection from the essay showing the main points and how they were supported.
