A title page and reference page are required, no abstract is needed, and first person is allowed. It is due in Module/Week 6 and worth 50 points.
Where it fits in NURS 105

How NURS 105 Week 6 Professional Development Plan is graded
Liberty grades Professional Development Plan with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in NURS 105 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 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 (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday 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 NURS 105 Week 6 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Decide your answer to the prompt before you write. A clear thesis is the backbone of a short essay.
Plan three supporting points
List the points that support the answer, usually two to four, each tied to the course material from Medical Terminology.
Develop each point with evidence
One paragraph per point: claim, support (Cite any resources you recommend), explanation.
Engage the course material directly
Name the theory, model or reading you are using and apply it; essays that stay general lose the course-knowledge points.
Conclude with the so-what
Close with the implication of your answer, briefly.
Check length and format
Confirm the length (2 pages) and current APA format before submitting.

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 hardest part of this course for me was spelling terms with silent letters, such as pneumonia and psychosis.1 To improve, I will keep a running list of every term I misspell on quizzes and review it with a spaced repetition app for ten minutes each morning.2 When I start clinical, I will also read one patient's history and physical each shift and look up any term I cannot take apart.3
