1.)   Review this.  Confirm by stating "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."

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

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 meets the rule of three since it asks for the most important factor. This phrasing is really good because it requires the student to be very comprehensive, which the 1st rule asks for (depth of research). It also takes a stance by being on the healthy weight loss side.

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

-  This EQ meets the rule of three since it is very specific in wording, as well as requiring comprehensive knowledge of the subject. Also, it is not a yes/no question.  
c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

- This EQ does not meet the rule of three. This is because it is not specific with the term "satisfies". Satisfaction can be very different for every person, so this would have to be narrowed down.

 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

- This meets the rule of three because not only is it specific with chronic pain, but also because there are many answers. This allows for breadth and depth of research. Also, although the answers could include facts, it argues the point of treating the patient.

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.
