How BUSI 336 Week 1 Entrepreneur Self Analysis is graded
Liberty grades Entrepreneur Self Analysis with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 40 points in the published guide. That is about 4% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in BUSI 336 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course week (except week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The BUSI 336 Week 1 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Choose a single event or experience that fits the Entrepreneur Self Analysis prompt and that you can describe honestly. One well-examined event beats three summarized ones.
Describe it briefly and accurately
Tell what happened in a few sentences. Remove names and identifying details; the reader needs the situation, not the people.
Analyze it with course concepts
Use the concepts from Introduction to Entrepreneurship to explain why it happened. This is the part graders weigh most: the reflection must show the course changed how you see the event.
Bring in the evidence the guide asks for
Meet the source rule (Course materials and any self-assessment tools provided). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.
Say what you would do differently
Close the loop: what you learned, what you would change, and how it will shape your practice. Be concrete; a plan beats a promise.
Write in first person, formatted in APA
Reflection papers allow first person, but they still follow current APA format for the title page, citations and references. Stay within Not set in the guide; follow the assignment instructions.
Use any assessment the course provides and connect each result to a concrete experience. Then say what role you should take in the group project because of it.
A structure for BUSI 336 Week 1 Entrepreneur Self Analysis
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Strengths | Skills and experience you bring. | ~220 words |
| Weaknesses | Gaps you need partners or learning for. | ~210 words |
| Motivations | Why you want to start something. | ~190 words |
| Biblical worldview | Calling, stewardship and purpose. | ~180 words |
A topic angle that works
Be candid: a self-analysis that admits weaknesses (finance, sales, persistence) helps your group assign roles well and is more credible than a list of strengths.
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.
My strongest entrepreneurial trait is persistence: I built a lawn care side business through two slow summers. My weakness is financial planning; I priced by guesswork and lost money on large yards. For our project I should lead customer research, where persistence helps, and partner with a teammate on the financial feasibility analysis. I see work as stewardship of the gifts God has given (1 Peter 4:10), which means learning the parts I avoid.
- An honest strength and weakness.
- A role decision.

Mistakes that cost points on BUSI 336 Week 1
