How BUSI 605 Week 8 Final Project is graded
Liberty grades Final Project with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 280 points in the published guide. That is about 28% 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 605 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: Each course week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday 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 605 Week 8 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Final Project instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In BUSI 605 the rubric is the grading contract, so the outline should mirror it before you write a sentence.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
16 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
Build the source list before the draft (At least 16 scholarly references in addition to the textbook). A short evidence table (who, when, what they found, which section it serves) prevents the late scramble for citations that weakens most papers.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Write one sentence that states what the paper argues. Every section after the introduction should advance that sentence; if a paragraph does not, it belongs in another paper.
Draft section by section, analysis first
Write each section to answer its rubric row, then add the analysis: what the evidence means, where sources disagree, and what follows for practice. Description supports the analysis; it cannot replace it.
Format and check against the rubric
Apply current APA (title page, running format, headings, in-text citations matched to the reference list) and then read the paper once against the rubric, row by row, before you submit.
Use the provided headings exactly. Draw data from sources such as the World Bank, IMF and country commercial guides alongside scholarly articles, and end each section with what it means for a firm.

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.
Vietnam's economy has grown rapidly on manufacturing exports, with trade equal to well over its GDP, and agreements such as the CPTPP and the EU-Vietnam free trade agreement give producers there tariff advantages. Labor costs remain below China's, though skilled workers are scarcer. For a firm seeking a second manufacturing base in Asia, these conditions favor Vietnam, provided it plans for infrastructure and skills constraints.
