I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
2. Review the following EQs. Tell whether they do or do not fit the rule of three, and why.
- What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
This question does not fit the rule of three, because it does not allows for depth of research. The answer to this question is a google search away. Although it is specific (healthy weight loss), it is the sort of question that can be answered by a list of facts off the top of one's head.
- What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
This question does fit the rule of three, because it is worded in such a way that deeper research is needed in order to come up with answers for it. The topic is not to broad but not to specific, the wording makes sense, and it does allow someone to argue a point to answer the questions, because securing a conviction is a huge process that includes a ton of moving parts and many influencing factors.
- What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
This question does not fit the rule of three. A point cannot be argued nor can it be well-researched because every customer is different in their tastes, preferences, and styles. The answers to this question are going to end up being a list of possible factors in customer satisfaction, but really you cannot have one most important thing like the question is asking for, because it depends on the customer.
- How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
This question does fit the rule of three. It has breadth (anesthesiology) and depth (treatment of chronic pain), a point can be argued to answer it, because pain treatment has measurable results in the reduction of pain. The question is also specific, as it deals with chronic pain, not just pain in general.
3. Write another draft of your Senior Project EQ.
What is the best way for an interpreter to ensure understanding between people who do not speak the same language?
