How NURS 765 Week 5 Group Project Part 1 is graded
Liberty grades Group Project Part 1 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 150 points in the published guide. That is about 15% 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 765 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 765 Week 5 method, step by step
Start from the need
Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.
Write measurable objectives
Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (5 to 7 resources, which may include the textbook and the Bible).
Plan the resources and timeline
List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.
Plan the evaluation
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within 7 to 10 pages, in current APA.
A structure for NURS 765 Week 5 Group Project Part 1
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,800 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|

| Mission, philosophy and framework | The key elements of the curriculum. | ~540 words |
| Program outcomes | Measurable end-of-program outcomes. | ~320 words |
| Degree completion plan | Courses by term, credits and clinical hours. | ~540 words |
| Conclusion | Bridge to the syllabus in Part 2. | ~220 words |
A topic angle that works
Put the degree completion plan in a table by term, with credits and clinical hours, and check the totals against accreditation requirements (for example, the 1,000 post-baccalaureate practice hours expected for the DNP).
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 post-MSN DNP is a 36-credit, five-term program for working nurses. Term 1 pairs theory with evidence-based practice; Terms 2 and 3 add leadership, informatics and population health; Terms 4 and 5 carry the DNP project courses.1 Students enter with documented master's practice hours and complete the remainder in the project courses so that each graduate reaches the 1,000 post-baccalaureate hours the AACN expects.2
- Gives credits and terms.
- Shows the sequence logic.
- Ties hours to the accreditation standard.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 765 Week 5
