How BUSI 444 Week 4 Case Study 2 is graded
Liberty grades Case Study 2 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 444 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.
The BUSI 444 Week 4 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
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
Apply the course framework
Use the model or concepts from Human Resource Development to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.
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
Make a clear recommendation supported by sources (The course textbooks and 2 scholarly references published within the past 5 years), with the first steps of implementation.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within 3 to 5 pages.
Check whether the case training has measurable objectives, meaningful practice and support for transfer, and recommend design changes for any element that is missing.
A structure for BUSI 444 Week 4 Case Study 2
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 | Recent sources. | ~220 words |
| Conclusion | Recommendations. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapter 5 covers program design. Evaluate the case's training design: objectives, sequencing, practice and follow-up.
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 case program delivers a full day of lectures with no practice and no follow-up, so it is unlikely to change behavior. Noe recommends objectives stating what trainees will do, under what conditions and to what standard, followed by practice and feedback. Splitting the day into two shorter sessions with role-plays and a manager check-in after 30 days would address these gaps.
