d. Take time to write a decent conclusion.. at least 10% of the task. It should consist of a brief summary of your main points followed by some reflection on the question as a whole.

Do not give recommendations in the conclusion unless you are asked to do so.

Do not predict the future in the conclusion unless you are asked to do so.

For all of you who worked very hard throughout this semester there should not be any nasty surprises in the final task. Good luck.
