How BUSI 443 Week 5 Case Study 3 is graded
Liberty grades Case Study 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 125 points in the published guide. That is about 12% 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 443 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 443 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
Name the central problem
State the main problem in one sentence. Many cases contain several issues; the strongest answers say which one drives the rest.
Apply the course framework
Bring the course material to the case: the framework, theory or principle the week covers, applied explicitly to the facts you listed.
Weigh the options
Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.
Recommend and justify
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (At least 2 peer-reviewed sources along with the course materials). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
If the case comes with questions, answer each one under its own heading, in order, within 3 to 5 pages.
For each method the case uses, name its predictive value, adverse impact risk and cost, then recommend a combination. A small table comparing methods helps.
A structure for BUSI 443 Week 5 Case Study 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Case summary | Key facts. | ~140 words |
| Answers | Each question. | ~720 words |
| Research support | Sources. | ~220 words |
| Conclusion | Recommendations. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapters 9 and 10 cover external selection tools and internal selection. Judge the selection methods in the case by validity, fairness and cost.
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 firm promotes supervisors based on seniority alone, which is easy to administer but says little about leadership ability. Heneman describes assessment centers and structured promotion interviews as stronger internal selection tools. A two-step process, a job knowledge test then a structured interview, would improve promotion decisions at modest cost.
