NR 300B Week 2 is typically the proposal: the problem in final form, two to four measurable objectives, the activities and timeline that serve them, and how you will evaluate the results. Your section may print the code as NR300B; it is the same course. Chamberlain publishes no syllabi outside Canvas. The placement here is our teaching judgment from the course's catalog description; your section's rubric decides what your week actually asks.
What NR 300B Week 2 asks for
The proposal is the backbone of a directed independent study, because later submissions are graded against it. In a two credit study it usually runs two to four pages and is reviewed by faculty, and sometimes acknowledged by the agency, before the service gets underway.
The rubric rows tend to follow the parts of a proposal: problem, justification, objectives, activities, timeline, evaluation. Each is scored separately, which means a strong activity plan cannot rescue a weak justification.
Because you have more contact hours than in the one credit version, faculty expect more structure: a timeline across the remaining weeks and an evaluation plan that names its data before the first visit.
The NR 300B Week 2 method, step by step
Five moves that make a proposal approvable on the first read.
-
Rewrite the Week 1 question as a problem statement
One or two sentences naming the population, the setting and the gap, now without the question mark.
-
Justify with layered evidence
Start broad with one credible source, then narrow to whatever local or agency information you have. The layering shows you understand both the problem and the place.
-
Write objectives that share a thread
Two to four objectives that build on each other, for example an education session, a resource for the agency and a follow-up check, each with a measure and a deadline.
-
Put the timeline in weeks, not intentions
A row per remaining week: what happens, where, how many hours. Faculty look for whether thirty-two hours is realistically spread across the session.
-
Choose the evaluation before you act
Name what you will collect, attendance, a short knowledge check, agency feedback, and how it maps onto each objective.
A layout and word budget for the proposal
Sized for about 900 to 1,200 words plus a timeline table. This outline is our own; your rubric's headings take priority.
| Section | What belongs in it | Word target |
|---|---|---|
| Problem statement | Population, setting and gap in final form. | 80 to 110 |
| Justification | Broad and local evidence that the gap is real and worth addressing. | 220 to 280 |
| Objectives | Two to four objectives with measures and deadlines. | 150 to 200 |
| Planned activities | What you will do, with whom, using what materials. | 160 to 210 |
| Timeline | Week-by-week table with hours. | table |
| Evaluation method | The data you will collect and which objective each item serves. | 140 to 180 |
Evidence craft for a proposal
Lead each paragraph with the claim, then the source. Proposals are arguments. Start a justification paragraph with what you are claiming and support it in the next sentence.
Prefer recent sources. Community health evidence dates quickly. Sources older than about five years need a reason, such as being the most recent local report available.
Separate published evidence from agency information. What the literature says and what the agency coordinator told you are different kinds of evidence. Label each so the grader can weigh them.
Five mistakes that cost points in this week's territory
- A justification that never reaches your setting. Broad evidence alone does not show the gap exists at the agency.
- Objectives with no shared thread. Unrelated objectives read as a list of chores rather than a project.
- A timeline that bunches hours at the end. Late-loaded plans tend to collapse when a date falls through.
- Evaluation left as we will reflect. Reflection is valuable but is not an evaluation method.
- Proposing activities the agency has not agreed to. Confirm the basic idea with your contact before you write it into the proposal.
Before you submit
- The problem statement names population, setting and gap
- Justification moves from broad evidence to local information
- Each objective has a measure and a deadline
- The timeline spreads hours across the remaining weeks
- Each objective maps to an evaluation data source
- The agency has agreed to the basic plan
