Written Assignment 2 is due in Module/Week 4, the week on program evaluation, with Murphy et al. chapter 15, the same week as the ethics and research forum. Same rules: at least 5 pages excluding title and reference pages, research-based, current APA, at least five references. Worth 75 points.
Where it fits in NURS 700
In the published schedule, Written Assignment 2 is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 700. It follows Week 3 Research Article Critique and comes before Week 4 Discussion Board One: Ethics and Research. The same week also has Discussion Board One: Ethics and Research, so plan the week's writing together.
How NURS 700 Week 4 Written Assignment 2 is graded
Liberty grades Written Assignment 2 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. 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 700 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 700 Week 4 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Written Assignment 2 instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In NURS 700 the rubric is the grading contract, so the outline should mirror it before you write a sentence.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
At least 5 pages, excluding title and reference pages is not much room. Choose a question narrow enough that you can answer it fully inside that length; a broad topic forces summary, and summary scores lower than analysis.
Collect sources before drafting
Find the sources first: At least 5 references, may include the course textbook and the Bible. Use the Jerry Falwell Library databases, filter to peer-reviewed, and keep a table of author, year, design and finding so the paper is built from evidence instead of padded with it later.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Write one sentence that states what the paper argues. Every section after the introduction should advance that sentence; if a paragraph does not, it belongs in another paper.
Draft section by section, analysis first
Fill the outline one heading at a time. In each section, say what the sources show, weigh them, and draw the implication. Graders reward the sentences that interpret, not the ones that report.
Format and check against the rubric
Finish with an APA pass and a rubric pass. Match every in-text citation to a reference, check the headings, and read each rubric row against the section that answers it.
A structure for NURS 700 Week 4 Written Assignment 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,400 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 | Introduce the topic, why it matters, and end with the thesis. | ~180 words |
| Background | Give the context, definitions and scope the reader needs. | ~240 words |
| Analysis | Answer the main questions in the instructions with evidence, weighed. | ~550 words |
| Application | Say what the analysis means for practice, policy or the organization. | ~270 words |
| Conclusion | Answer the thesis directly and name one limitation or next step. | ~150 words |
A topic angle that works
Apply program evaluation to your topic: if a program addressing your problem were implemented, how would it be evaluated? Use a model such as the CDC framework or a logic model (inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes).
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.
A logic model clarifies what a nurse-led discharge program would need to show.1 Inputs are nurse time and teaching materials; activities are two teaching sessions and a 48-hour phone call; outputs are the percentage of patients who complete both; and outcomes are readmission at 30 days and patients' self-care scores.2 Evaluating outputs separately from outcomes matters, because a program that is not delivered cannot be judged on its results.3
- Names the evaluation model.
- Fills each component for the topic.
- Explains why the distinction matters.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 700 Week 4
- No evaluation model.
- A paper unrelated to your topic.
