Blog 11: EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an essential question.

2. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
In my opinion, this essential question meets the rule of three criteria. This question isn't a yes or no question and it's easy to have three different kinds of answers for it. This question could also be broken down into sections. First, the person could talk about what it takes to be considered as eating healthy. Then they can talk about what is weight loss and after, they can talk about the several answers for this question.

What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation? 
In my opinion, this essential question meets the rule of three criteria. This question is an open minded question and gets a person to wonder what could be the right answer to this question. There could be several answers to this question, which is why I agree that it fits under the rule of three. The question doesn't send out any confusion, at least it doesn't to me. It's well written and well understanding.

What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
In my opinion, this essential question meets the rule of three criteria. This is question is very broad and doesn't confuse me at all. I know from the beginning of reading this question that they're trying to ask or answer what is important their customers. I believe this question is well written. It could also be written down into sections to when the person presents on this topic.

How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
In my opinion, this essential question meets the rule of three criteria. This question could really make a presentation entertaining because first the person could talk about what an anesthesiologist is. Then the person presenting could have several answers to this question because it's quite broad and when a question is broad, it's easier to answer. This question would be perfect to have three answers then a best answer at the end.

3. After assessing these four essential questions, I still believe that my EQ meets the criteria as "the rule of three." My essential question, "What is the link between vaccines and autism in children?" could be broken down easily into three different sections. The first section would be on pediatrics. The second section of this EQ would be autism. The third section would be the links, this section would include my three answers and my final best answer. My question could and does have several answers to it. It's not a yes or no question and it is very broad which i state again, is a good thing. I believe my essential question meets the rule of three.
