How NURS 220 Week 6 APA Review and Corrections is graded
Liberty grades APA Review and Corrections with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 25 points in the published guide. That is about 2% 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 NURS 220 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 220 Week 6 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Choose a single event or experience that fits the APA Review and Corrections prompt and that you can describe honestly. One well-examined event beats three summarized ones.
Describe it briefly and accurately
Tell what happened in a few sentences. Remove names and identifying details; the reader needs the situation, not the people.
Analyze it with course concepts
Explain the event through the course material. A reflection that never names a concept from the reading is a diary entry, not an assignment.
Bring in the evidence the guide asks for
Meet the source rule (Cite the APA manual where you refer to rules). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.
Say what you would do differently
Close the loop: what you learned, what you would change, and how it will shape your practice. Be concrete; a plan beats a promise.
Write in first person, formatted in APA
Reflection papers allow first person, but they still follow current APA format for the title page, citations and references. Stay within 250 to 500 words.
A structure for NURS 220 Week 6 APA Review and Corrections
Word targets are planning numbers for about 375 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Name the event and the lesson the paper will draw from it. | ~50 words |
| The event | What happened and your role, without identifying details. | ~80 words |
| Analysis | Why it happened, explained with course concepts and sources. | ~160 words |
| What changes | What you learned and the concrete change you will make. | ~60 words |
| Conclusion | Tie the lesson back to the course. | ~20 words |
A topic angle that works
Organize the plan into the guide's three verbs: review (list each type of error), repair (how you fixed it, citing the APA rule) and retain (what you will do so you do not repeat it).
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.
Review: my instructor marked three errors in the reference list, all journal titles in sentence case instead of title case.1 Repair: I corrected each one, checking the APA rule that periodical titles are capitalized and italicized.2 Retain: I added a reference-list checklist to the template I saved from the interactive exercise and will run it before every paper.3
