How PSYC 645 Week 2 Treatment Evaluation Presentation is graded
Liberty grades Treatment Evaluation Presentation 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. 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 645 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 PSYC 645 Week 2 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Write the message of the Treatment Evaluation Presentation in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (The textbook, at least 1 scriptural citation and at least 3 peer-reviewed primary scholarly sources).
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Confirm the format the guide asks for (5 to 7 minutes): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.
Give each intervention a slide or two: what it involves, the evidence and for whom it works best. Script narration to fit 5 to 7 minutes and cite sources on slides.

A topic angle that works
Choose a disorder with varied treatments, such as childhood anxiety: cognitive behavioral therapy, parent training and a faith-integrated approach such as Christian-accommodated CBT.
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.
Slide 4: Cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety. Children learn to recognize anxious thoughts and gradually face feared situations. Evidence: numerous randomized trials show CBT reduces anxiety for most children, with gains maintained at follow-up. Best for school-age children; parent involvement strengthens results for younger children.
