How NURS 732 Week 3 Reflective Exercise is graded
Liberty grades Reflective Exercise 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 732 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 732 Week 3 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Reflection writing works when it is specific. Pick one situation, one decision point, and stay with it for the whole paper.
Describe it briefly and accurately
Tell what happened in a few sentences. Remove names and identifying details; the reader needs the situation, not the people.
Analyze it with course concepts
Explain the event through the course material. A reflection that never names a concept from the reading is a diary entry, not an assignment.
Bring in the evidence the guide asks for
Meet the source rule (At least 5 references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.
Say what you would do differently
End with a specific change in practice that follows from the analysis. Graders look for growth that is tied to the evidence you cited.
Write in first person, formatted in APA
Use first person where you describe your own experience and keep the APA format for everything else. Check the length (5 to 7 pages).
A structure for NURS 732 Week 3 Reflective Exercise
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,600 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 | Your role on quality teams and the focus of the reflection. | ~190 words |
| Leadership in CQI | What the text and research say leaders do. | ~350 words |
| Teambuilding | How effective improvement teams form and work. | ~320 words |
| Personal reflection | A team you led or joined, honestly assessed. | ~420 words |
| Biblical perspective | Scripture on leading and serving together. | ~160 words |
| Conclusion | What you will do differently. | ~160 words |
A topic angle that works
Reflection earns points when it is honest about a failure. Choose an improvement team that struggled and use the text's account of effective teams to explain why, then say what you would change as its leader.
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.
The falls committee I chaired met monthly for a year and changed almost nothing, and the text explains why: we had no clear aim, no measures, and members who attended because their managers sent them.1 Effective improvement teams, Sollecito and Johnson note, are small, have a sponsor with authority, and test changes in short cycles.2 Paul's picture of the body in 1 Corinthians 12, where each part has a function, describes what we lacked: every member present, none with a role.3
- Owns a real failure.
- Explains it with the text.
- Integrates Scripture with a point.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 732 Week 3
