How PSYC 320 Week 6 BMP: Treatment Phase Report is graded
Liberty grades BMP: Treatment Phase Report with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 125 points in the published guide. That is about 12% 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 PSYC 320 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 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 week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The PSYC 320 Week 6 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Work through the BMP: Treatment Phase Report calculations or software steps first and save the output. The written part interprets those numbers, so they have to be right before you explain them.
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
Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each 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
Submit every file requested and check that formulas, output and the write-up agree (Not set in the guide; a description, narrative and graph).
Describe exactly what you did (reinforcers, schedule, self-monitoring), narrate what happened, including setbacks, and interpret the graph: did level or trend change after treatment began?
A structure for PSYC 320 Week 6 BMP: Treatment Phase Report
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment description | The procedure as applied. | ~310 words |
| Narrative | The process and any changes. | ~360 words |
| Graph | Both phases, phase line and labels. | ~530 words |
A topic angle that works
The graph is the heart of the report: baseline and treatment data on one graph, separated by a vertical phase-change line, with each phase labeled, so the change in level and trend is visible.
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.
After treatment began on day 11, daily exercise rose from a baseline mean of 8 minutes to a mean of 27 minutes across 14 treatment days. The graph shows an immediate change in level after the phase line and a steady upward trend through the first week. A dip on days 18 and 19 coincided with travel, when my usual cues were absent.
- Change in level.
- Trend.
- An explained dip.
Mistakes that cost points on PSYC 320 Week 6
