Snackable #16: Build a Simple FAQ Page

Try this:

Create a short Course FAQ in Brightspace or as a downloadable doc. Start with 4–5 practical questions students often ask and update it as the course progresses.

Why it works:

Reduces repetitive questions and supports executive functioning and independence — especially for neurodiverse learners or those unfamiliar with academic systems.

Bonus idea:

Use Generative AI:

“Create a Course FAQ for a (undergraduate/graduate) course in (content area) with weekly assignments and major projects.”
