How BUSI 423 Week 6 Essay 3 is graded
Liberty grades Essay 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 70 points in the published guide. That is about 7% 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 423 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 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 week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
Essays are graded on how well they show you read, understood and carefully considered the question, the textbook and other resources, so quote or paraphrase the textbook precisely and cite the chapter. With a 1,000-word minimum, plan an introduction of about 100 words, three analytical sections of about 250 words each, and a conclusion that states your judgment and what a franchisee or franchisor should do differently.
The BUSI 423 Week 6 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Write a one-sentence answer to the Essay 3 prompt before drafting. That sentence becomes the thesis and keeps the essay on track.
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 (The textbook and other resources), explanation.
Engage the course material directly
Name the theory, model or reading you are using and apply it; essays that stay general lose the course-knowledge points.
Conclude with the so-what
End by saying why the answer matters for practice or for the field, in two or three sentences.
Check length and format
Check the word or page count (At least 1,000 words, excluding references) and APA citations.
Answer with a thesis, support it with the textbook and at least one real franchise example, and close with practical advice for one side of the relationship. Draft the thesis first and test each paragraph against it: if a paragraph does not advance the thesis, cut it or rewrite it. Close by naming one concrete practice the franchisor could adopt, which shows that you have carefully considered the question rather than summarizing the chapter.

A topic angle that works
If the question concerns franchisor and franchisee relations, analyze how the relationship can be managed to reduce conflict, with examples.
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.
Conflict in franchise systems often comes from misaligned incentives: the franchisor earns royalties on sales, while the franchisee earns profit after costs. A franchisor that pushes discounts to raise sales can raise its royalties while cutting franchisees' margins. Systems that share data openly and consult franchisees on pricing decisions report better relations.
