Reaching a conclusion
This is worth two marks. You will be able to reach an overall conclusion after you have analysed all the information/data you have collected. Your overall conclusion must be either a detailed summary of key findings or a detailed overall judgement about the issue or topic.
In your report, it is important that you show how your conclusion is based on the evidence from your research. Your conclusion can be presented in different ways:
- an answer to the research questions you set yourself at the start of your assignment
- a judgement about whether the statement you started with has been proved or disproved
- the most important factors relating to your topic or issue
- a judgement about whether your data collected is consistent with a geographical model
- a decision about a programme, policy, or development
- the most significant causes or consequences of an issue
