Microsoft Word Strayer Resources

Overview

As you are developing your skills in Microsoft Word, you will practice creating a document to meet specific formatting requirements. But instead of being a document you look at once and never think about again, you are going to create a personal resource sheet - something that will be useful to you during your time and Strayer and beyond.

As mentioned earlier in the course, the best tools are not the most expensive ones, but the ones you will actually use — so make this one you will actually use!

Instructions

Using a Microsoft Word template, you will create a document containing helpful links, reminders, suggestions, and any other bits of information you might find helpful during your time at Strayer and beyond.

You will need to download the following Word document:CIS101 Wk7 Assignment Template.

There are two parts to this assignment: content requirements and formatting requirements.

Content Requirements

1. For the content of your document, you will need to include each of the following:
   At least one Strayer specific resource of your choosing: Describe what the resource is and two ways you might use it over time as a student.
   Examples: iCampus, Canvas, Strayer Library.
2. At least two tips or features that you found helpful after selecting your specific resource (iCampus, Canvas, Strayer). Be sure to provide both the tip or feature and why it will be helpful to reference this information.
   Examples: Strayer Writing Standards guidelines, notes on how to cite specific sources, reminders for how to access information.
3. At least two Strayer specific contacts including either phone numbers or emails of people you may need to contact frequently. Identify the name of the contact and what you would contact them for.
   Examples: your success coach, a current instructor.
