The BUSI 646 Week 7 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Research Project Final Document instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In BUSI 646 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
Size the topic to the length (4,500 to 6,000 words). A focused question about one population, policy or problem gives you room to analyze; a broad survey leaves room only to describe.
Collect sources before drafting
Find the sources first: The group's peer-reviewed sources under 10 years old. 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 646 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
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.
