1. Consider a recent stressful event you experienced at work. What types of job-related, emotional, and physiological strains did you experience as a result of this event? What are some problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies you might have used? What could the organization have done to help you deal with this stress?

2. Remote work is becoming more popular in a number of different companies. Consider your own schoolwork and how productive you are when you are working at home or in your dorm room, compared to when you are in a computer lab or a library. What are some benefits you have found to working at home? What are some difficulties? If you've taken an online course, how does that environment compare to a traditional classroom setting? What changes have you needed to make to your work habits to ensure you complete the online class successfully?

3. Underemployment is a common problem in the United States. Think of a time when you were stuck in a job or a class that was too easy and failed to challenge you. What were some frustrations with that situation? Do you think these frustrations would become more or less intense the longer you were in that situation? Did you take any steps to try to add challenge to that experience, and if so, what were they?
