Blog #10: 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)
•  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)

2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if each meets the rule of three.
• Tell why they do or don't.

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

•  This EQ meets the rule of three because it gives a wide space for research for the author.

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

•  this EQ meets the rule of three because it allows the author to look up past convictions and what made them successful.

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

•  this EQ doesn't meet the rule of three because it is very opinionated.

 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

•  This EQ meets the rule of three because it will have good research behind it and will have many different point.

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.
