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.
