Blog 9: EQ

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

2.  Review the following EQs:

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

• Yes, I think this is an appropriate EQ, but it is quite vague. If it was restated so that it would not have just one specific answer, or had a more detailed word choice besides "healthy weight loss", I think then it would be much more valid.

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

• Yes, this is an EQ, but like the previous one, it is also vague. It should be more specific so that it addresses the type of conviction or criminal investigation.

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

• Yes, this is a better EQ. It points out what they're EQ is trying to answer, with "...that best satisfies a customer." It also makes it more specific since what the EQ is answering, is not too broad.

 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

• Yes, this is the best EQ out of the previous ones. It starts with "wow" instead of "what," allowing more flexibility in answers. It also addresses the topic that this person is presenting on, and a specific issue that they want to answer.

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 can an Editor-In-Chief best direct a publication in order to ensure a quality product?
