How NURS 619 Week 4 Curriculum Plan Part II is graded
Liberty grades Curriculum Plan Part II 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. 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 619 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 619 Week 4 method, step by step
Read this part against the whole
Before drafting Curriculum Plan Part II, read ahead to the later parts. Each part builds on the last, and a decision that looks fine now can box you in two weeks later.
Lock the topic and the question early
Pick a problem you can carry for the rest of the course and phrase the question so it can actually be answered. A vague question makes every later section harder to write.
Write to the headings the part names
Mirror the instructions: each element the part names becomes a heading. It makes the grading easy to follow and makes it obvious when something is missing.
Support every claim with current evidence
Cite as you write (Part of the plan's 7 to 10 peer-reviewed references from the last 5 years). Prefer peer-reviewed sources from the last five years and say what each one contributes; a citation that only decorates a sentence adds little.
Keep the draft consistent with earlier parts
Read the feedback on the previous part first and carry the corrections forward. Consistent wording across parts is what makes the final document read as one proposal.
Check length and APA before submitting
Confirm the length (Part of a 7 to 10-page curriculum plan), the APA format and the reference list. Then read the rubric for this part once more and match each row to a heading.
A structure for NURS 619 Week 4 Curriculum Plan Part II
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 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 | How the outcomes follow from the mission and philosophy. | ~100 words |
| Program learning outcomes | Five measurable end-of-program outcomes. | ~300 words |
| Competency statements | Five statements of what graduates can do in practice. | ~270 words |
| Alignment | How outcomes map to the philosophy and to professional standards. | ~130 words |
A topic angle that works
Write outcomes with measurable verbs at the right level for a pre-licensure graduate, and align them with recognized standards such as the AACN Essentials or QSEN competencies. A short alignment table shows the grader that each outcome traces back to the philosophy.
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.
PLO 1: Integrate evidence, clinical judgment and patient preferences to plan safe, holistic care for individuals and families across the lifespan.1 PLO 2: Communicate effectively with patients and the interprofessional team, using structured tools to promote safety and continuity of care.2 Each outcome maps to a statement in our philosophy and to a domain of the AACN Essentials, as the alignment table below shows.3
- Uses a measurable action verb at the graduate level.
- Ties communication to safety, a recognized competency.
- Shows alignment explicitly.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 619 Week 4
- Outcomes that describe teaching instead of graduates.
- Unmeasurable verbs such as "understand".
