How MGMT 501 Week 8 Peer Review is graded

Course grades in MGMT 501 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: Modules/Weeks 1- 7 begins on Monday at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Module/Week 8 begin on Monday morning at 12:00am. (ET) and end on Friday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
Detailed, evidence-based narratives meet the assignment; one-line ratings do not.
The MGMT 501 Week 8 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Choose a single event or experience that fits the Peer Review prompt and that you can describe honestly. One well-examined event beats three summarized ones.
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 Executive Leadership and Management 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
Meet the source rule (Your group's work over the course). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.
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 (Not set in the guide; a detailed narrative for each member).
For each member, write a short paragraph under the four headings, citing particular forums or tasks, and keep the tone professional.

A topic angle that works

Model paragraph with notes
