Blog 9: EQ

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

  • Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
  • Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
  •  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)
2.  Review the following EQs and
  • Tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria.
  • Tell why it does or why it doesn't
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
-When talking about most important factor, it already sounds as if the person made a list and is picking the best from it. It takes a stance and is clear, but it doesn't meet all three.
 
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

-I have the same answer for both (b) and (c), which is that they do not meet the three rules. It doesn't give area for research since it is just focusing specifically on the most important thing.
 
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

-I believe this is the best example for an EQ, it creates area for research and is clear, and it isn't creating a list of any sort.

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.

-How should one determine the value of a computer technician for their needs?
