Appendices

Appendices avoid putting large amounts of detail in the body of your document, where the reader may lose track of your logic and start speed reading forwards to the next interesting part.

Typical subjects for appendices include:

Detailed method and approach
Tables of raw data
Glossary of terms, especially if you use jargon
Detailed technical information

Title of publication

Conclusions

The conclusions bring together the important findings or recommendations from your document.

Tip: write the conclusions second, after writing the summary.

Some readers might read just the executive summary and the conclusions, without reading the main body. Conclusions can be longer than the executive summary, as you should mention the important reasons behind your findings or recommendations.

2

Body

The body of your document will depend on the type of document. The important characteristics are:

Good signposting with descriptive headings
A coherent sequence that builds up step by step
Put complicated details and data in the Appendices, and summarise them in the main body

Hvorfor bruke en Mindomo-tankekartmal?

Tankekart hjelper deg med å brainstorme, etablere relasjoner mellom begreper, organisere og generere ideer.

Tankekartmaler er imidlertid en enklere måte å komme i gang på, ettersom de er rammeverk som inneholder informasjon om et bestemt emne med veiledende instruksjoner. Tankekartmaler sørger for en struktur som kombinerer alle elementene i et bestemt emne og fungerer som et utgangspunkt for ditt personlige tankekart. De er en ressurs som gir deg en praktisk løsning for å lage et tankekart om et bestemt emne, enten det er i forbindelse med jobb eller utdanning.

Mindomo gir deg smarte maler for tankekart som gjør at du kan fungere og tenke uanstrengt.
