EQ

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

• Provide a framework for studies
• Take a stance
• Format

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? 

• It follows rule 1, 2, and 3 in the fact that it does allow the individual to do in depth research on the topic to achieve a final answer. It allows the person to choose a point and argue it backing it up with the research

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

• The formatting of this question is weird. It doesn't give any clue or stance as to what they're trying to figure out. They're not looking for anything.

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

• This follows all three rules. Although it could be a bit more clear on what aspects of hairstyle creation they will be exploring. The formatting of the question is very good.

 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

• The question seems very single answer. It does not allow for extra research and several good answers.

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.

• What are the most important factors a First Tech Challenge team should consider in order to win a competition?
