Where it fits in NURS 767
In the published schedule, Written Assignment 2 is one of 12 graded written assignments in NURS 767. It follows Week 2 Discussion Board Forum 1 and comes before Week 3 Written Assignment 3. The same week also has Discussion Board Forum 1, so plan the week's writing together.
How NURS 767 Week 2 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 767 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 960 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 767 Week 2 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Start from the assignment instructions in Canvas. Every element the Written Assignment 2 instructions name becomes a heading in your outline, in the order given, and the rubric rows tell you how deep each one has to go.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
Approximately 5 pages, not including 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
Build the source list before the draft (A sufficient number of resources to answer the questions posed). A short evidence table (who, when, what they found, which section it serves) prevents the late scramble for citations that weakens most papers.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Draft the thesis before the body. A NURS 767 paper reads as organized when each heading answers part of the thesis, and as a list of facts when it does not.
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 767 Week 2 Written Assignment 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,300 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 questions and context. | ~160 words |
| Answers to the posed questions | One heading per question. | ~860 words |
| Application to your practicum | What you will do differently. | ~160 words |
| Conclusion | Summary. | ~130 words |
A topic angle that works
Where a question asks about learners, describe the actual students in your practicum (their level, background and needs) and use research on that group, rather than writing about learners in general.
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 students in my practicum are in their second semester of an accelerated BSN, and most hold degrees in biology or psychology.1 Research on accelerated students describes them as motivated and self-directed but stretched by the pace, and they respond well to clear expectations and prompt feedback.2 For my teaching this means posting the week's objectives before clinical and returning written feedback within 48 hours.3
