JakelewisMany students or experts put down their dissertation very well, but when they reach the last part i.e. writing and recommendations; they unknowingly make mistakes that hamper the whole dissertation. The final part of the dissertation must include valid recommendations with a meaningful conclusion. The pattern for writing any dissertation is given below:
- Introduction
- Thesis statement and methodology
- Summary results
- Discussion of summary results
- Coursework & Assignment Help | UK Writing Services | Coursework Writerand conclusion
As each part of your dissertation requires conclusion, it must carry its own peculiarities for the consideration. Ensure to throw light for the readers on every part or chapter of your dissertation touching upon different aspects and key findings that were identified or realized. The writer should understand that the conclusion is a mere compilation of the entire thesis, thus, it must be written and presented well and should intend to summarise each of the chapters. -
