Beck Assignment #5 1 November 7 , 2016 3.0 SAMPLE CONCLUSION This document examined the problem of burn -out suffered by American college students in order to propose a solution. A review of the literature concluded that burn -out can be caused by students not taking advantage of free entertainment opportunities on campus (Fakemeister, 2016). Moreover, the literature concluded that free entertainment , such as concerts by a capella groups, is often aimed at students in liberal arts programs, not STEM programs (Fakearoo, 2015 ), and so students in STEM programs will often not attend su ch entertainment, even if it is free, because it is not appealing to the m. To help determine a solution to this problem, a survey of ERAU/Prescott students was taken as described in Section 2.0: Proposed Solution . This survey indicated that given several e ntertainment choices, most ERAU/Prescott students would prefer to attend a lectu re by industry giant Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and T esla Motors. Therefore, this document recommends that the Prescott campus SGA invite Elon Musk to the ERAU/Prescott campus for a lecture in Fall 2017 because Embry -Riddle students are more interested in learning from an industry leader than they are in listening to a capella groups. Some may argue that a lecture is not entertainment. However, there is a long tradition of “edutainment” (i.e., educational entertainment) at university camp uses (Fakarooni, 2016) , and the fact that students wish to continue learning about aerospace during their free time is laudable. Therefore, this paper strongly recommends that the ERAU/Prescott SGA contact Elon Musk’s PR firm to begin negotiations for a lecture tour to the ERAU campus. 3.0 SAMPLE CONCLUSION BREAK -DOWN [PURPOSE STATEMENT] This document examined the problem of burn -out suffered by American college students in order to propose a solution. [SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM ] A review of the literature concluded that burn -out can be caused by students not taking advantage of free entertainment opportunities on campus (Fakemeister, 2016). Moreover, the literature concluded that free entertainment , such as concerts by a capella groups, is often aimed at students in liberal arts programs, not STEM programs (Fakearoo, 2015 ), and so students in STEM programs will often not attend su ch entertainment, even if it is free, because it is not appealing to the m.

Beck Assignment #5 1 November 7 , 2016 [PROPOSED SOLUTION/CALL TO ACTION] Therefore, this document recommends that the Prescott campus SGA invite Elon Musk to the ERAU/Prescott campus for a lecture in Fall 2017 because Embry -Riddle students are m ore interested in learning from an industry leader than they are in listening to a capella groups. [COUNTERCLAIM AND REBUTTAL] Some may argue that a lecture is not entertainment. However, there is a long tradition of “edutainment” (i.e., educational entertainment) at university camp uses (Fakarooni, 2016) , and the fact that students wish to continue learning about aerospace during their free time is laudable. [RESTATEMENT OF CLAIM/CALL TO ACTION] Therefore, this paper strongly recommends that the ERAU/Prescott SGA contact Elon Musk’s PR firm to begin negotiations for a lecture tour to the ERAU campus.
