Hey Ruth, welcome to the coach cast,  it is always great to have you here.   Thanks, David, it is great to be here I am looking  forward to talking about the conclusion chapter.   So, we are jumping right into it with  our first common conclusion mistake,   which is not clearly articulating how the study  achieved the research aims you set out to answer.   Ruth, how can we make sure this is clear.  Absolutely, it is the first mistake and it   is a very, very common mistake. And so,  when we look at the conclusion chapter,   we need to remember that we cannot look at it  without considering the introduction chapter.   So, your conclusion chapter ultimately is where  you close this loop back to the beginning of your   dissertation. So, in your introduction chapter,  you will mention the aims of the research   and your conclusion chapter is where you will tell  the reader clearly how you address these aims. So,   you almost need to view it like top and tail, two  ends of a loaf of bread where they speak to each   other. And you can do this in a fairly simple way  you do not have to go into long explanations. What   you can simply do is say my research addressed  the aims by finding or by doing X, Y and Z. But   it is really important to make sure you do this  because as I said the examiner when they read your   thesis the top and tail, the beginning and the  end are what speaks to how you actually finally   did what you set out to do. That is a great point  especially because often enough that is a place   where we start off when looking at a thesis or  dissertation, is reading the introduction and   the conclusion to get a sort of overview of the  study before then as a marker or a reviewer you   are going to go through it step by step. So,  making sure that connection is...
