Op-eds are short opinion pieces that make a clear and persuasive argument for a general public audience. Your op-ed must make a clear argument about a relevant issue and present evidence that supports that argument. You must also acknowledge at least one counter-argument and briefly explain why it does not negate the argument you are making. See the “Hints for Op-Eds” handout for more detailed instructions!

Describe the central tenets of a materials spill response plan.
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.

In the proposal, you should describe the problem/research question you would like to address, create a research plan for exploring the problem/research question, articulate the benefits of your proposed project, and come up with a timeline for your project. Ask a research question, related to this problem, that you don’t already have the answer to.
Your proposal should be written in memo form and addressed to me, your instructor, and any other decision-maker of your project. You are responsible for identifying these other, relevant decision-makers.
The proposed work plan is also critical, and it translates into your proposed research methodology. Remember that for the analytical report, you are required to use a minimum of seven sources and to triangulate your research by using one of each of the following information categories: electronic sources, print sources, and empirical sources. For example, you may choose to do an interview, read a relevant journal article, and examine a relevant website. Under the category of print sources, you may choose to obtain this information electronically via the University Library site. This still will be considered a print source. As you discuss your research activities, use the terms discussed in the text: electronic sources, print sources, and empirical sources.

Things to think about:
• When is speed important (and how important is it for your company’s particular issues)?
• How do you evaluate ‘quality’ in an ESH service?
• When is flexibility important? In what ways might a vendor customize their
products/services/bundles to fit the specific needs of your company?
• When might performance characteristics be emphasized over cost? Is this one of those
instances?
Your Assignment: Prepare a letter to Ms. Krauss recommending one of the vendors for the specific
product-service bundle package you select from those listed (details below). The letter must be no more
than 2 pages long, but must convey all of the pertinent information to justify your choice. Hint: you
should not really use ‘order qualifier’ or ‘order winner’ in your letter, since these may not be in common
use among the management of your company. Treat the letter as if you are writing it to your supervisor.
Visit the interactive website EPA in Your State (Ohio) and review the state laws
Visit the interactive website EPA in Your State (Ohio) and review the state laws for air and water from your state or a state of interest to you. You can find this information under the Environmental Info section of each state’s individual page. After exploring the website and doing any other necessary research, compose an essay that addresses the following topics:
1. Introduce the state you have chosen (Ohio), and summarize the issues associated with air and water quality and the
regulations and programs being adopted by the chosen state to solve those issues.
2. Briefly explain the federal legislative process that creates laws and regulations.
3. Analyze whether the programs to address air and water issues will succeed and if they are worth the work hours and
costs being spent.
4. Recommend what you would give to the EPA to address the environmental issues in the state.
5. Discuss how individuals, industries, and corporations can engage with governmental agencies.
Your completed project must be at least three pages in length, not counting the title and reference page, and you must use
at least one academic source in addition to the EPA website. APA formatting is required. All sources used, including the
course textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying in-text citations.

READING RESPONSE GUIDELINES
Your reading responses are an opportunity for reflection on your own thoughts, beliefs, questions, and/or concerns regarding a particular topic, issue, or experience. It is a reflection of your learning throughout the semester, not a diary or a book report. The ultimate purpose of the reading responses is to provide you with a safe, judgement-free place to express your ideas and opinions and to facilitate an understanding of the course material and experiences.
Each reading response should reflect approximately 60 minutes of effort and include appropriate and related photos, drawings, video clips, and links – anything that you wish to include that enhances your discussion. Be creative! This is an expression of your thoughts.
For most responses, you will select 3 lines from the week’s reading that stand out to you in some way (you agree with them, you disagree with them, you don’t understand them, etc.) and respond to them. BE SURE TO CHECK SPECIFIC READING RESPONSE ASSIGNMENTS, AS THE DIRECTIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR SOME. Be detailed and give reasoning behind your thoughts. For example – don’t just say, “This sentence is dumb!” Tell me why it is dumb.
All work reflected in the response should be in your own words. If you use other authors’ work you need to properly paraphrase and reference the information including photos, graphics and/or external links (photos taken by you will need to be referenced as well). Use APA formatting of all citations. Citations for pictures can simply be the original website URL in a caption under the picture or in a list at the end of your reading response. Make sure you cite the textbook that you quote!
DO NOT list “Google images” as a citation for pictures. I need the URL from the original website.
You need to use correct grammar and spelling, using complete sentences.
You will be graded on the richness of your ideas and discussion, not on your opinions.
