The BUSI 304 Week 7 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Decide your answer to the prompt before you write. A clear thesis is the backbone of a short essay.
Plan three supporting points
Sketch the supporting points and the course concept each one uses.
Develop each point with evidence
One paragraph per point: claim, support (At least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles), explanation.
Engage the course material directly
Use the course's own terms and sources. The grader is checking that you learned the week's material.
Conclude with the so-what
Close with the implication of your answer, briefly.
Check length and format
Confirm the length (Blog 400 to 500 words; email template 200 to 250 words) and current APA format before submitting.
A structure for BUSI 304 Week 7 Group Blog 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The law and the issue | A third, different law. | ~210 words |
| Evidence | What the articles show. | ~240 words |
| Biblical worldview | Faith and the issue. | ~130 words |
| Email template | One clear ask to the right legislator. | ~220 words |
A topic angle that works
For the last blog, pick a pending bill rather than an enacted law, so the email template asks for a vote that has not happened yet; check its status on Congress.gov or your legislature's website.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The pending bill would require hospitals to publish nurse staffing plans and report staffing levels by unit each quarter.1 Studies link higher nurse staffing to lower patient mortality, which supports transparency, while hospital groups argue that reporting adds cost without guaranteeing staff.2 Our group supports the bill because public reporting lets patients and boards see what they could not see before.
- A pending bill.
- Both sides noted.
