Conclusions

Under the conclusions heading, you should comment on the outcomes of a test. Here, you might also speculate about the implications of the results or even about the methods used to obtain the results. Some readers may not expect conclusions. For example, design engineers reading a report may interpret, or make conclusions, about results themselves. As a student, you may need to interpret, or make recommendations about, the results for your readers.

Under the conclusion heading, interpret the lab's results. If the results are correct, provide the reasons why. If the results are incorrect, discuss what went wrong. The conclusions also speculate about the implications found or even the methods used to obtain results. To learn more, choose any of the items below:
