Management. In short, it consists of the followin" rel="nofollow">ing outlin" rel="nofollow">ine:
1. Summary
2. Interpretation, analysis and discussion
3. Conclusion
Note that you don’t have to follow it slavishly. However, if you aren’t
used to produce the sort of works we are askin" rel="nofollow">ing for, then it could prove to
be quite helpful.
Summary
In the summary section you should, as the name implies, summarize the
material. A correct summary shows that you have at least read the text. In
addition it makes it easy for the examin" rel="nofollow">iners to see if someone would seem to
have missed somethin" rel="nofollow">ing of importance.
The summary should be written such that someone who is acquain" rel="nofollow">inted
with the field but have yet to read the text can understand it. Consequently
you must not leave out important details. Note also that a summary
shouldn’t be a set of quotations from the origin" rel="nofollow">inal text, and that your
paraphrase mustn’t be too close to the origin" rel="nofollow">inal source.

Interpretation, analysis and discussion
Sin" rel="nofollow">ince a text usually can be in" rel="nofollow">interpreted in" rel="nofollow">in different ways dependin" rel="nofollow">ing upon the
person who reads it, it’s important that you present your own understandin" rel="nofollow">ing
of the presented material. In many cases it would be possible for someone
to write a summary, albeit the in" rel="nofollow">individual doesn’t have any expert knowledge
within" rel="nofollow">in the actual field. However, bein" rel="nofollow">ing able to present a meanin" rel="nofollow">ingful in" rel="nofollow">interpretation
requires a deeper understandin" rel="nofollow">ing, which is exactly what we want
you to acquire.
When writin" rel="nofollow">ing your analysis and discussion, which isn’t necessarily disconnected
from the in" rel="nofollow">interpretative part, you are supposed to critically examin" rel="nofollow">ine
the content of the material under review. It is imperative that you, in" rel="nofollow">in addition
to statin" rel="nofollow">ing your fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings, also present your supportin" rel="nofollow">ing arguments.
Conclusion
The conclusion should be a short and succin" rel="nofollow">inct summary of what you found
under the previous section. Although it might feel a bit repetitious it can certain" rel="nofollow">inly
help in" rel="nofollow">in clarifyin" rel="nofollow">ing and underlin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing the most important fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings. Lastly
it provides a good foundation for a fin" rel="nofollow">inal check of whether or not you agree
with yourself.
