How BUSI 643 Week 2 Case Study 2 is graded
Liberty grades Case Study 2 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. 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 643 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 643 Week 2 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 Workforce Planning and Employment 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
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (The textbook case and course material). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within 3 to 5 original pages.
Show any forecasts as a simple table (requirements, availabilities, gap) and explain the staffing action that closes each gap.
A structure for BUSI 643 Week 2 Case Study 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,300 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 facts | Only what the answers need. | ~160 words |
| Answers | Each question. | ~810 words |
| Support | Textbook and research. | ~210 words |
| Format | APA. | ~130 words |
A topic angle that works
Chapters 3 and 4 cover human resource planning and job analysis. Use their tools, such as forecasting labor requirements and availabilities or defining KSAOs, to answer the case questions.
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 firm expects to need 40 additional nurses next year, while internal availability, after expected retirements and turnover, falls by 15. The total gap of 55 is too large to fill by external hiring alone in a tight labor market. Heneman's planning process suggests a mix: a residency program for new graduates, retention bonuses for experienced nurses near retirement and travel nurses for short-term coverage.
- A gap.
