Portfolio #1

Write an essay in which you take a stand on the issue of drug testing. State your thesis clearly by defining the problem and the solution you will cover in your paper. Begin by clearly summarizing O'Keefe's essay and evaluate the arguments of the author objectively. Then draw your own conclusions about what you think the problem really is and what solution would prove to be the most effective in a specific area. If you would prefer to discuss drug testing in a specific area in the workplace or in an area other than the workplace, check with me. Support your ideas clearly by using direct quotes and parenthetical documentation. Include a title for your paper and also a work cited page at the end.

E-mail your comments and suggestions to the YSU Grant Team (cardcat@bgnet.bgsu.edu).
