How NURS 600 Week 4 Written Assignment 3 is graded
Liberty grades Written Assignment 3 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. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
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.

The NURS 600 Week 4 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Write a one-sentence answer to the Written Assignment 3 prompt before drafting. That sentence becomes the thesis and keeps the essay on track.
Plan three supporting points
List the points that support the answer, usually two to four, each tied to the course material from Evaluation Strategies for Nurse Educators.
Develop each point with evidence
One paragraph per point: claim, support (At least 3 references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible), 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
Check the word or page count (At least 3 pages, excluding the title and reference pages) and APA citations.

A topic angle that works
Answer from a nurse educator's role: how would you plan a test, or prepare students for the NCLEX, in a way that is fair and valid? Ground each recommendation in the textbook and a recent study.
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.
Preparing students for the NCLEX works better as a thread through the program than as a review course in the final term.1 Programs that use questions in the NCLEX format from the first clinical course, with rationales discussed in class, report higher first-time pass rates than those relying on end-of-program review alone.2 For my course, that means two short case-based item sets each week, reviewed together, rather than one high-stakes test at the end.3
