Assignment 2: "Creating an FAQ for a Website"

Review

the Strayer University Website to find an opportunity to write a FAQ

that does not exist but would be useful to an intended audience. You

will format the document as if it would be going on the Website, but you

will write the document in Microsoft Word or equivalent word processing

software.

Write a one to two (1-2) page FAQ sheet for the

intended audience and purpose. On a separate page within the same

document, write a paragraph that identifies the intended audience and

purpose of the FAQ sheet you have created. (Submit one document in total

with both components included.) Your assignment cannot be graded

without this analysis. In your document, you should:

Match the intended audience and purpose for situation and tone.
Format FAQ Web page(s) accurately and according to the details in the textbook.
Ensure that content is measured, concise, and applicable.
Craft a document that is easy to read.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
