How NURS 751 Week 6 Evidence Based Article Review is graded
Liberty grades Evidence Based Article Review 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. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in NURS 751 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 751 Week 6 method, step by step
Read the article twice, differently
First read for the story, second read for the method. The critique is graded on the second read: design, sample, data collection, analysis and the honesty of the conclusions.
Describe before you judge
Give a short, exact summary first. If the description is wrong, every judgment after it is suspect, so check the numbers and terms against the article.
Appraise each part of the study
Work through the study section by section and ask the questions the course uses: is the design suited to the question, is the sample adequate, are the measures valid, do the results support the conclusions?
Name strengths as well as weaknesses
Balance the appraisal. Strengths that are explained carry as much weight with graders as weaknesses, and a one-sided critique reads as careless.
Say what it means for practice
Close with usefulness: could the findings change practice, for which patients or settings, and with what caution?
Keep to the length and format
Write in paragraphs, inside At least 2 to 3 pages of content, plus title and reference pages, with current APA citations. A critique that turns into a table or list usually loses its argument.
A structure for NURS 751 Week 6 Evidence Based Article Review
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 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 article and why it matters. | ~130 words |
| Summary | Purpose, design, sample and findings. | ~350 words |
| Critique | Strengths, limitations and level of evidence. | ~350 words |
| Implications for practice | What a PMHNP should take from it. | ~260 words |
A topic angle that works
Rate the level of evidence and name the single limitation that most limits use in practice, such as a small sample, no control group or a population unlike your patients.
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 study's randomized design is its main strength, but its sample limits how far the findings travel: participants with active substance use and suicidal ideation were excluded, which removes many of the patients a PMHNP sees with this diagnosis.1 Attrition was 28% by six months, and the analysis did not use intention to treat, so the reported effect may be inflated.2 The article supports dialectical behavior therapy for this group but not yet for the patients most at risk.3
- Credits the design.
- Names the decisive limitations.
- States the practice implication with care.
