Samples, including one written for you free

True submission formOne free per studentAny course, any week

The fastest way to judge a writing desk is to make it write. This site publishes samples by course and by week, and every student gets one custom sample free, written to their own rubric rather than to a conveniently easy one. No card, no conditions, one per person.

What a sample here looks like

Nothing is shown as an outline or a summary of what could be written. The entire point of a sample is that it is finished.

Browsing what is already filed

Every course has a shelf and every week has a drawer. Start with the high-traffic nursing codes at NURS 6512, NURS 6521 and NRNP 6635, or move across to SOCW 6204, COUN 6360, MMHA 6000 and DDBA 8006. The search box on the home page understands the way students type, code and week together in one line.

Walden edits its courses between terms, so treat the shelf as a map rather than a mirror. When your week is not filed, the drawer takes a free request instead.

The free custom one

Send the course, the week and the rubric or instructions your classroom shows. A writer matched to your subject drafts it fresh, and it reaches your personal email in 24 to 48 hours, formatted the way that deliverable is supposed to arrive. It is a real assignment written to real requirements, which is the only kind of sample worth judging anybody on.

After that, work is quoted flat per item. What sets the number is laid out on the pricing page.

What people do with them

Some students read the sample and write their own version from it. Others hand the rest of the term to the desk and never open a rubric again. Both happen daily and neither gets a lecture here. What matters at this stage is seeing the standard on your own assignment before deciding anything, rather than on a curated excerpt chosen because it flattered somebody.

When one is not enough, the assignments page and the whole-class page explain the two ways people scale this up.

Asking so the sample is worth having

A request with those five things attached comes back as something you could hand in. A request that says only the course code comes back as something generic, and generic is exactly what makes a sample useless.

Send it over

Confidential. Walden never hears from us; details go to the desk and nowhere else.

Questions students ask first

Is the free sample really a full deliverable?

Complete and formatted, on your own prompt. It is not an excerpt and it is not a template with your course code pasted into the header.

How long does it take?

Usually 24 to 48 hours. Quiet months run faster, and the final week of a quarter runs slower, so ask early when your deadline is tight.

Can I request one for a course with no shelf yet?

Yes. The shelf list marks where the traffic is, not where coverage stops. Send the code and the desk either writes it or quotes it.

Do samples come with sources?

With a working reference list, checked before delivery. If your course requires sources from a particular window of years, put that in the request.

Can I get more than one free?

One per student. After that everything is quoted, and standing arrangements bring the per-item number down.
