Drafting the Paper:
Writing the Conclusion

The Schoolcraft College English Department's quality standards for research papers says that

A conclusion is satisfactory when it reiterates the paper's or report's focus in a new way, reviews or summarizes the paper's main points, and/or provides a recommendation, argument, or point with which to end the discourse meaningfully.
