How BUSI 700 Week 3 Time Management Audit is graded

Course grades in BUSI 700 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 960 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 module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

The BUSI 700 Week 3 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Reflection writing works when it is specific. Pick one situation, one decision point, and stay with it for the whole paper.
Describe it briefly and accurately
Set the scene in a short paragraph: what happened, who was involved (without identifying details), and what your role was. Keep description to a fraction of the length.
Analyze it with course concepts
Use the concepts from Doctor of Business Administration Orientation to explain why it happened. This is the part graders weigh most: the reflection must show the course changed how you see the event.
Bring in the evidence the guide asks for
Support the analysis with Your own time records. Use the sources to show that what you saw is a known pattern and what the literature says about preventing or handling it.
Say what you would do differently
End with a specific change in practice that follows from the analysis. Graders look for growth that is tied to the evidence you cited.
Write in first person, formatted in APA
Use first person where you describe your own experience and keep the APA format for everything else. Check the length (Five business days in 15-minute increments).
Use a spreadsheet with rows for each 15-minute block and columns for activity and category (work, family, study, rest, other). Total each category, then identify two or three changes that would free regular time for research and writing.
A structure for BUSI 700 Week 3 Time Management Audit
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Records | Complete 15-minute logs for 5 days. | ~400 words |
| Analysis | Where time actually goes. | ~240 words |
| Plan | Changes to make room for doctoral study. | ~160 words |
A topic angle that works
The purpose is to see where time actually goes before the demands of doctoral study, so record honestly, including interruptions, commuting and screen time.
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.
Over five workdays I logged 47 hours of work, 9 hours of commuting and 11 hours on my phone outside work, but only 3 hours of reading for the program. Moving reading to my 45-minute train commute and limiting evening phone use to 30 minutes would add about 8 hours of study a week without cutting family time.
