How BUSI 474 Week 7 Operational Project Presentation is graded

Liberty grades Operational Project Presentation with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% 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 474 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 474 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Plan the talk before the slides

    Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.

  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

    Meet the source requirement (At least 7 peer-reviewed references published within the last 3 years, in addition to the course textbook and the Bible) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.

  4. Write speaker notes or a script

    Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.

  5. Rehearse to the time limit

    Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.

  6. Check the technical requirements

    Confirm the format the guide asks for (5 to 10 minutes; 5 to 7 slides): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.

Script the narration at about 130 words a minute, so 5 to 10 minutes is roughly 650 to 1,300 words. Put short citations on slides and the full list on the last one.

A topic angle that works

Use the project paper as the source but present it, not read it: one slide each for service, parts and collision, one for synergies and trends, one for biblical concepts and a references slide.

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.

BUSI 474 Week 7, sample narration excerpt

Slide 3, Service Parts. The parts department is the link between the service bay and the customer's car. When the right part is on the shelf, the car leaves the same day; when it is not, the bay sits idle. Today's best departments use demand data to stock what local cars actually need, and they treat honesty about part prices as part of earning the customer's trust.

  1. One area per slide.
  2. Plain speech.
  3. A value.
