Yes it is very important to work on my senior project whether it is during break or even during school. I did around 10 hours of mentorship over break that all involves with my senior project. (Advertising)

Blog 9: EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
2.
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
This EQ doesn't really provide a  stance, meaning that the answer is either going to be a fact from any organization or website. This EQ won't build a strong foundation with it being as simple as it is now, which can be improved.

 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
The EQ is sort of confusing and is not that specific as it can be, the format of the EQ can be written in a different way so it can all make sense. Doesn't really encourage depth and rigor on the topic.
 
c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
The format is not clear at all the wording does not really make sense. You can't really argue anything, the answer can even be a personal opinion, doesn't take a stance. Nor does it provide any kind of framework. 

d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
This EQ has two of the criterias except for one which is, take a stance it won't let you argue a certain point that it might have. And the answer might just be a list or facts of a recitation, which doesn't create depth in any sort of way.

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
What skill is most important to success as an advertising manager?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.
There are many key skills that an advertising manager needs to have in order to succeed in the business. Skills vary from creativity, communication, leadership, projection and project management. But the most important that an advertising manager must have to have the possibility to success is communication. Communication is a crucial skill that is needed in order to project your creativity and leadership so others can understand and acknowledge your work. 

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

The most important source that has helped me define my EQ is a book called "Hey Whipple Squeeze This" by Luke Sullivan. Along with many others internet sources that has helped me provide a variety of articles, helping me learn a lot more of how advertising works.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

I am volunteering in a machine shop called Brothers Precision. Volunteering and observing what the manger does has helped me learn the right technique to advertise a price of a product. That is planning how to do it and what to do it on?(Flyers, Ads, etc.)
