    hi,
    i have been reading the the course notes that we may need to add recommendation in the conclusion.
    If so, do we need to have them mentioned also in the main text or not ?

    Hi - 2 rules for you:
    1. only ever make a recommendation if it is explicitly asked for in the question (otherwise you should simply "suggest" a course of action)
    2. don't include any new information in the conclusion - so, if you are asked to make a recommendation, you should have already discussed the reasons for any recommendation earlier in the main text. A recommendation in the conclusion should not be a surprise to the reader!
