Assignment: Choose a topic for your op-ed:

• Should workplace stress be regulated like other health hazards?

• Bosses who bully: Is there a solution?

• Workplace sexual harassment in the #MeToo age: Is it really a problem?

• How should we prevent mass shootings in the workplace?

• Should college interns be legally protected against harassment?

• Choose your own topic - email me for approval of an issue not on this list. Narrow down your issue focus by posing a question. For instance, rather than proposing writing an op-ed on "scheduling", you might suggest "What can universities do to prevent burnout in students who have full-time jobs and families". Make sure that there is research or expert opinion to support your position.

Requirements: • The op-ed must be between 700-1,000 words. Include a word count at the end of your op-ed.

• Include your own title for your op-ed

• Submit your own work that is in your words. Papers will be vetted by Turnitin - you will be able to view your Turnitin originality score and modify your paper if the score is low.

• For this assignment, you must include at least one credible, expert reference in your op-ed (provide a proper citation at the end of your piece)

• Use correct grammar and spelling throughout

• End the article by making a clear recommendation - this is a "call to action" for your readers

• Sign your op ed with your name and few words about who you are

• At the end of your submission include where you would submit your op-ed - this determines who your audience is and how you will write it. For instance, an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal will be different than an op-ed for the Targum.
