Jiskha Support Team, I am supposed to do a written assignment however I am having a problem with understanding instruction number #1 and #3
#1 through #4 is part of the requirement for my written paper
#1). Must include an introductory paragraph with a succinct thesis. X
#2). Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
#3). Must conclude with a restatement of the thesis and a conclusion paragraph. X
#4). Must use APA style as outlined in your approved style guide to document all sources.
What does sentence #1 mean by introductory paragraph with a (succinct thesis)?
What does sentence #3 mean by must conclude with a restatement of the thesis and a conclusion paragraph?
Why would I restate my thesis in the conclusion paragraph?
Does #3 mean print the exact same sentences or words from succint thesis that I used right after my introductory paragraph into my conclusion paragraph?

The last sentence is usually the concise and clear (succinct) thesis statement.

For your conclusion, you restate your thesis in different words.

One of the things to do in the conclusion is to restate your thesis -- not using the same words, and making it stronger since by then you should have proven that your thesis is true.

This is one of the very best places I've seen online to help students write good thesis statements. It shows you sentences that aren't thesis statements and how to turn each one into real thesis statements.
