How HLTH 511 Week 8 Research Project Final Submission is graded
Liberty grades Research Project Final Submission with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 140 points in the published guide. That is about 14% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in HLTH 511 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 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 HLTH 511 Week 8 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Research Project Final Submission instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In HLTH 511 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 (Maximum 2,500 words in total). 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: Peer-reviewed literature and your SPSS output. 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 HLTH 511 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
Finish with an APA pass and a rubric pass. Match every in-text citation to a reference, check the headings, and read each rubric row against the section that answers it.

A topic angle that works
The discussion is new here, so give it real weight: compare your result with the literature, name the limitations of your data (cross-sectional design, self-report) and say what a public health program could do with the finding.
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 finding that smokers were about twice as likely to report fair or poor health agrees with national survey research.1 Because the data are cross-sectional and self-reported, the analysis cannot show that smoking caused poorer health, and people in poor health may differ from others in ways the survey did not measure. For a health department, the result still supports pairing cessation programs with chronic disease outreach.2
