The BUSI 629 Week 5 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Research Project Draft instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In BUSI 629 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
At least 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: At least 20 scholarly references. 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
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
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
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.
A structure for BUSI 629 Week 5 Research Project Draft
Word targets are planning numbers for about 2,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Thesis and the 2 or 3 main discussion points. | ~180 words |
| Background | The economic issue and context. | ~260 words |
| Discussion point 1 | Evidence and analysis. | ~480 words |
| Discussion point 2 | Evidence and analysis. | ~480 words |
| Discussion point 3 or implications | Evidence or managerial implications. | ~530 words |
| Conclusion | Return to the thesis. | ~260 words |
A topic angle that works
Use the economic evaluation techniques the course teaches on the studies you cite: report the study's perspective, time horizon and cost measures, and say whether the result holds up. That is what makes this an economic analysis paper rather than a summary.
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 cost evidence for hospital-at-home is strongest from the payer perspective over a single episode. The randomized trial found substantially lower direct costs, but it did not include caregiver time, which a societal perspective would count.1 Matched studies with longer horizons report savings that persist at 30 days, mainly through fewer readmissions.2 The weight of evidence supports lower cost per episode for selected patients, with uncertainty about the costs families bear.
- Names the perspective and horizon.
- Notes what is left out.
- A measured conclusion.
