How NURS 626 Week 4 Capstone Project Part 2 Annotated Bibliography is graded
Liberty grades Capstone Project Part 2 Annotated Bibliography with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% 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 626 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 626 Week 4 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Write down the question the review serves and the limits of the search: years, populations, study types. The scope tells the grader why these sources and not others.
Search systematically
Search the Jerry Falwell Library databases with consistent terms and keep a log. Aim to exceed the minimum (8 to 10 peer-reviewed references from the last 5 years; the course textbook and the Bible also included but not counted) so you can choose the strongest studies.
Organize by theme, not by article
Group the studies by what they found or argue. A review that summarizes one article per paragraph is an annotated list; a review organized by theme is synthesis.
Compare and evaluate
Within each theme, say where studies agree, where they differ, and which evidence is stronger.
Identify the gap
Name the gap the sources leave open and how it connects to your question.
Format the references carefully
Check every reference against APA, and every in-text citation against the list (8 to 10 annotations of at least 150 words each, plus a title page).
A structure for NURS 626 Week 4 Capstone Project Part 2 Annotated Bibliography
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,700 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 | The question and the scope of the search. | ~200 words |
| Theme one | Studies grouped and compared. | ~440 words |
| Theme two | Studies grouped and compared. | ~440 words |
| Theme three | Studies grouped and compared, or conflicting evidence. | ~310 words |
| Gap | What the literature leaves unanswered. | ~200 words |
| Summary | What the review means for the question. | ~100 words |
A topic angle that works
Group the sources by the job they do in the capstone: the size of the problem, interventions that work, implementation, and the Christian worldview. Each annotation should end with how you will use the source.
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.
This quasi-experimental study tested a workplace violence prevention program in three emergency departments, combining de-escalation training, security presence at triage and a reporting system, and found a significant drop in assaults over 18 months.1 The lack of a control group and the possibility of underreporting limit it, but the program is described in enough detail to replicate.2 I will use it as the main evidence for the intervention in my capstone and to set a realistic target for the reduction my recommendation could achieve.3
