What BUSI 505 Week 5 Research Project Draft asks for
You construct and review the draft document with your group, working collaboratively on a 20 to 25-page paper in current APA that complies with the formatting and content instructions. The topic is selected by the group and approved by the instructor. Each student contributes weekly to the Research Project Group Discussion Board Forum about the paper, and one member submits the draft. It is due in Module/Week 5; Peer Evaluation 3 follows. Worth 50 points.

How BUSI 505 Week 5 Research Project Draft is graded
Liberty grades Research Project Draft with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in BUSI 505 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 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: Module/Week one begins on Monday and ends at 11 :59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Modules/Weeks 2-8 begin on Saturday and end at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The BUSI 505 Week 5 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Start from the assignment instructions in Canvas. Every element the Research Project Draft instructions name becomes a heading in your outline, in the order given, and the rubric rows tell you how deep each one has to go.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
20 to 25 pages is not much room. Choose a question narrow enough that you can answer it fully inside that length; a broad topic forces summary, and summary scores lower than analysis.
Collect sources before drafting
Find the sources first: The group's 20 or more peer-reviewed sources. Use the Jerry Falwell Library databases, filter to peer-reviewed, and keep a table of author, year, design and finding so the paper is built from evidence instead of padded with it later.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Draft the thesis before the body. A BUSI 505 paper reads as organized when each heading answers part of the thesis, and as a list of facts when it does not.
Draft section by section, analysis first
Fill the outline one heading at a time. In each section, say what the sources show, weigh them, and draw the implication. Graders reward the sentences that interpret, not the ones that report.
Format and check against the rubric
Finish with an APA pass and a rubric pass. Match every in-text citation to a reference, check the headings, and read each rubric row against the section that answers it.
A structure for BUSI 505 Week 5 Research Project Draft
Word targets are planning numbers for about 2,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Thesis and scope. | ~160 words |
| Background | The technology and context. | ~320 words |
| Literature and evidence | What research shows. | ~680 words |
| Analysis and management implications | What leaders should do. | ~520 words |
| Conclusion | Return to the thesis. | ~160 words |
| References | At least the 20 sources. | ~160 words |
A topic angle that works
Merge sections early and have one editor make the voice consistent; 20 pages from four authors needs a full read-through before submission.
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.
For health care leaders, the evidence points to governance rather than technology as the answer to alert fatigue. Organizations that created a standing committee to review alert performance, retire alerts that are overridden most of the time and approve new alerts against a standard have reduced alert volume without measurable harm.1 The committee needs clinical and informatics members and authority to turn alerts off.2
