What BUSI 338 Week 8 Final Project Report asks for

The final project report, the fourth phase presentation, is due in Module/Week 8 with Megginson and Byrd chapter 16 and an article, the same week as Exam 4; the final week ends Friday at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Same requirements as the earlier phases. Worth 90 points.

Where it fits in BUSI 338

In the published schedule, Final Project Report is one of 9 graded written assignments in BUSI 338. It follows Week 7 Discussion Board Forum 4, and it is the last written assignment in the course.

How BUSI 338 Week 8 Final Project Report is graded

Liberty grades Final Project Report with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 90 points in the published guide. That is about 9% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.

Course grades in BUSI 338 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 module/week (except Module/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 module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

The BUSI 338 Week 8 method, step by step

  1. Plan the talk before the slides

    Write the message of the Final Project Report in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.

  2. One idea per slide

    Each slide carries one point, stated in its title. Short lines, readable type, no paragraphs on the slide.

  3. Put the evidence where it is used

    Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (At least 2 outside references, at least 1 peer-reviewed).

  4. Write speaker notes or a script

    Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.

  5. Rehearse to the time limit

    Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.

  6. Check the technical requirements

    Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (10 to 12 slides), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.

End with a short roadmap slide (next 12 months) so the project reads as a plan, not four separate decks.

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.
