What NURS 764 Week 2 Project Topic, Bibliography and Objectives asks for
You choose a topic of interest for the comprehensive teaching project and submit a bibliography of applicable sources. It must be 5 to 7 pages, include 8 to 10 references and conform to current APA. You also provide 4 to 5 measurable objectives for the project. It is due in Module/Week 2 with Billings and Halstead chapters 2 to 4 and Bradshaw and Lowenstein chapter 6. Worth 100 points.
Where it fits in NURS 764
In the published schedule, Project Topic, Bibliography and Objectives is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 764. It follows Week 1 Discussion Board Forum 1 and comes before Week 3 Discussion Board Forum 2.
How NURS 764 Week 2 Project Topic, Bibliography and Objectives is graded
Liberty grades Project Topic, Bibliography and Objectives 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 764 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 764 Week 2 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Fix the question and the search limits first, and record the databases and terms you use.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (8 to 10 references).
Organize by theme, not by article
Sort the sources into themes before writing. Each paragraph should discuss a theme across several studies.
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
Apply current APA to every citation and reference; reviews are where reference errors cluster (5 to 7 pages).
A structure for NURS 764 Week 2 Project Topic, Bibliography and Objectives
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,500 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Topic and rationale | The topic, the learners and why it matters. | ~240 words |
| Measurable objectives | 4 to 5 objectives with action verbs. | ~270 words |
| Bibliography | 8 to 10 sources, each with a short annotation. | ~780 words |
| Summary | How the sources support the project. | ~210 words |
A topic angle that works
Write objectives with Bloom's taxonomy verbs at more than one level (identify, explain, apply, evaluate), because the classroom, clinical and online parts later need objectives they can each address.
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.
By the end of the unit on heart failure self-management, the learner will be able to: (1) explain the pathophysiology of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; (2) identify five signs of fluid overload a patient should report; (3) apply a teach-back method to discharge education in simulation; and (4) evaluate a patient's daily weight log and decide when to call the provider.1 The objectives move from understanding to application and evaluation, following Bloom's revised taxonomy.2
- Measurable verbs.
- Several cognitive levels.
- Ties objectives to a framework.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 764 Week 2
- Objectives that cannot be measured (understand, appreciate).
- Fewer than 8 references.
- A bibliography with no annotations or rationale.
Checklist before you submit
- Length: 5 to 7 pages
- Sources: 8 to 10 references
- Sources organized by theme, not one per paragraph
- The gap is stated and tied to the question
