How NURS 600 Week 2 Written Assignment 1 is graded
Liberty grades Written Assignment 1 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 75 points in the published guide. That is about 7% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 600 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 NURS 600 Week 2 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
Sketch the supporting points and the course concept each one uses.
Develop each point with evidence
Give each point its own paragraph: the claim, the evidence (At least 3 references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible), and what it shows.
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
Check the word or page count (At least 3 pages, excluding the title and reference pages) and APA citations.

| Conclusion | The answer restated and why it matters. | ~90 words |
A topic angle that works
Whatever the prompt asks, show item-writing skill with examples: write a weak multiple-choice item and its improved version, and explain each change with the textbook's guidelines.
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 original item asked, "Which of the following is not a sign of hypoglycemia?", a negatively worded stem that tests reading care more than knowledge.1 Oermann and Gaberson advise stating stems positively and making distractors plausible, so the revised item asks which finding the nurse should expect in a patient whose glucose is 52 mg/dL, with diaphoresis as the answer and three findings of hyperglycemia as distractors.2 The revision tests the same content at the application level, which is closer to how the NCLEX asks it.3
- Shows a concrete flaw.
