5. I feel that this answer is really appropriate to answering my EQ because in a profitable retail pharmacy, patients are usually in a hurry to get their prescription while others want the proper consultation they deserve. This means that the pharmacist has a lot to deal with and his teams are essential to getting tasks done efficiently.

1. What did you do over the break with your senior project?

    I made a few stops to my mentors pharmacy to ask him about things he thought would be helpful in answering my essential question. I also stayed at the pharmacy to observe my mentor at work and see if I couldn't find out an answer myself. 

2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the 
source of what you learned?

      The most important thing I learned from mentoring over the break was the importance of making sure that patient records are efficiently managed so that refills and prescriptions are handled more efficiently. The source of this would be my mentor actually dealing with this inefficiency when I stopped by. 

3.   If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

      I would want to interview Kenny Quach. He was my interviewee for interview 2 and he knows the pharmaceudical business pretty well. 

EQ

1. I have reviewed the rule of three.
2. a. No, it doesn't meet the criteria. It talks about a factor, which basically is a yes or no question because it requires a single word answer.
     b.  Yes, it meets the critera. It envelopes a deeper answer because there could be so many aspects of secuing conviction. It just asks for more research. More meat on the bone.
      c. No, the formating is alittle off, but I suppose there could be some research in finding out what could best satisfy most customers.
       d. No, the formating is alittle weird and could use something else to help it not give a single answer.
