Conclusions. Present the logical conclusions of your investigation of ''the problem?. Bring it all together and maybe offer options for the way forward. Many people will read this section. Write it in plain English. If you have included a discussion then this section may be quite short.

Appendices. Put the heavy details here, the information that only specialists are likely to want to see. As a guide Wholesale Jerseys Cheap , if some detail is essential to your argument then include it in the main body, if it merely supports the argument then it could go in an appendix.

Conclusions and Recommendations
