Assignment:
Produce an Op-ed on an issue/topic from a list that will be provided by your instructor or on an issue/topic of your own choosing that has been previously approved by your instructor using the structure outlined above using the headings: Lead; Evidence; Conclusion; and Walk-off.
You must use 12 point-font and your paper must be double-spaced. Document your sources (the experts you are quoting and the facts/statistics you are using) using APA Style in-text citations and provide a separate “References” page to list those sources. The majority of your paper should be your opinion in your own words. Though research is needed to write a good Op-Ed, this is not a long-form research paper.
An important goal of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can apply “the economic way of thinking.” If you are choosing an issue/topic rather than choosing one from the provided list, be sure that it has a clear economic dimension that you can address.
Be sure to review the grading rubric for this assignment.
