Blog #10 : EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2. a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

• Yes, this EQ meets the rule of three.
• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Take a stance (It allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
• Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)

b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

• No, this EQ does not meet the rule of three.
• The wording on this EQ could be done better. "What is most important..." should be "What is the most important factor..."

c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

• No, this EQ does not meet the rule of three.
• Like the previous EQ, the wording could use some improvement. "What is the most important..."Also, this EQ seems rather broad. It needs to be more specific.

d. How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

• No, this EQ does not meet the rule of three.
• This EQ can be answered with just a recitation of facts.

3. Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project. The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.
