2. Review the following EQs, tell if each EQ meets the rule of three, why, and why they do not.
- What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
- The question above calls for research, is not a yes or no question, takes a stance for allowing some sort of argument, and is somewhat specific, allowing this essential question to meet the rule of three.
- What is most important to securing a conviction in criminal investigation?
- This question requires a framework of studies and research, is not a yes or no question, allows for points of argument, and is specific, allowing this essential question to meet the rule of three.
- What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
- This question does not require any depth of research, but it can be argued with. Due to the lack of research and specifiability, this question does not meet the requirements for the rule of three.
- How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
- The above question requires for some very in depth research, allows the topic and points to be argued about, and is very specific in the direction where the answer should be, allowing the question to meet the rule of three.
3. Write another EQ draft for your senior project.
- Based on my review of the rule of three and assessing four essential questions, I believe that my current essential question, How can a Labor and Delivery Nurse ensure a successful delivery?, meets all the requirements for the rule of three.
- For example, in order to answer my essential question one must research and be educated on my topic. My question can also be argued with facts, statistics, and opinions. As far as my question being specific, I believe that is specific enough for me to build a good ground of foundation for research, and is informative enough to where I may have three best answers.
