How NURS 618 Week 7 Service Learning Teaching Plan is graded

Liberty grades Service Learning Teaching Plan with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% 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 618 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 week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

The NURS 618 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Define the need the Service Learning Teaching Plan answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Write objectives that name the audience, the behavior or outcome, the level and the time frame.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (A reference page of 3 to 5 scholarly sources in addition to the textbooks).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.

  6. Format and length

    Follow the required template or headings and check length (The provided worksheet, completed in full) and APA.

A topic angle that works

Service learning combines community service with structured reflection tied to course objectives. Plan the service (a blood pressure screening at a church, health education at a shelter), the learning objectives it serves and the reflection activity that turns it into learning.

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.

NURS 618 Week 7, sample plan excerpt

Service activity: nursing students will run a two-hour blood pressure screening and teaching table at a community food pantry, partnering with the pantry's volunteer coordinator.1 Learning objective: students will tailor hypertension teaching to the resources of clients facing food insecurity, a skill the service-learning literature links with growth in cultural humility.2 Reflection: a one-page guided reflection answering what surprised them and how they would change their teaching next time.3

  1. Names a real service activity and partner.
  2. Connects it to an objective supported by research.
  3. Includes the reflection that makes it service learning.
