How NURS 832 Week 6 Outbreak Paper Outline is graded
Liberty grades Outbreak Paper Outline 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.

Course grades in NURS 832 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 832 Week 6 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.
Show the method
Name the method and the reason it fits. One or two sentences are enough, but they must be there.
Report the results plainly
Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Translate the numbers into a conclusion about the question. Say what decision they support and how confident you can be.
Name the limits
State what the analysis cannot tell you: assumptions, data limits, or what would change the answer.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (Not set in the guide; a detailed outline).
