How BUSI 643 Week 7 Literature Review is graded
Liberty grades Literature Review with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 150 points in the published guide. That is about 15% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first.

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 7 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Fix the question and the search limits first, and record the databases and terms you use.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (At least 12 peer-reviewed journal articles published within the past five years).
Organize by theme, not by article
Group the studies by what they found or argue. A review that summarizes one article per paragraph is an annotated list; a review organized by theme is synthesis.
Compare and evaluate
Weigh the studies against each other: design, sample, consistency of findings.
Identify the gap
End with what the literature does not yet answer. In BUSI 643, the gap is usually what justifies the next part of the assignment.
Format the references carefully
Check every reference against APA, and every in-text citation against the list (At least 8 to 10 full pages).
Add at least four sources to the eight already annotated, checking dates. Compare studies within each theme: what they found, how, and why results differ.

A topic angle that works
Build from your topic and annotated bibliography, organizing by themes rather than by article, and end with implications for staffing managers.
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.
Studies of AI screening tools agree that they can process large applicant pools quickly, but disagree on fairness. Some find reduced adverse impact compared with human screeners, while others show tools trained on past hiring data reproduce earlier biases. The difference appears to depend on training data and whether the vendor audits outcomes by group, which suggests employers should require such audits before adoption.
