What NURS 767 Week 3 Written Assignment 3 asks for

Where it fits in NURS 767

In the published schedule, Written Assignment 3 is one of 12 graded written assignments in NURS 767. It follows Week 2 Written Assignment 2 and comes before Week 4 Discussion Board Forum 2.

How NURS 767 Week 3 Written Assignment 3 is graded

Liberty grades Written Assignment 3 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. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.

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 3 method, step by step

  1. Turn the instructions into an outline

    Paste the Written Assignment 3 instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In NURS 767 the rubric is the grading contract, so the outline should mirror it before you write a sentence.

  2. 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.

  3. Collect sources before drafting

    Find the sources first: A sufficient number of resources to answer the questions posed. Use the Jerry Falwell Library databases, filter to peer-reviewed, and keep a table of author, year, design and finding so the paper is built from evidence instead of padded with it later.

  4. 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.

  5. Draft section by section, analysis first

    Write each section to answer its rubric row, then add the analysis: what the evidence means, where sources disagree, and what follows for practice. Description supports the analysis; it cannot replace it.

  6. Format and check against the rubric

    Apply current APA (title page, running format, headings, in-text citations matched to the reference list) and then read the paper once against the rubric, row by row, before you submit.

NURS 767 Week 3, sample answer section

I tried a one-minute paper at the end of a lecture on fluid balance: each student wrote the most important point and the muddiest point.1 Half named the same muddy point, third spacing, which I would not have guessed, and I opened the next class with it. Classroom assessment techniques like this give immediate feedback at almost no cost, and studies report improved student engagement when faculty act on the responses.2

  1. A specific strategy.
  2. What happened.
  3. Evidence for it.

Mistakes that cost points on NURS 767 Week 3

  • Listing strategies without describing use.
  • No judgment of results.
  • Missing questions.
