ASSIGNMENT 2 IDENTIFY A SOLUTION Due Week 6: 150 points OVERVIEW Microsoft Word is one of the most effective tools you can use to document an idea, proposal, or plan. It can help you present yourself and your ideas in a clean, clear, and concise way. In this assignment, you will write a two to three (2-3) page paper about the same problem you selected in Week 3 of this course and share details for how you plan to solve it. Many people are likely facing the same problem you selected, and sharing your thoughts could be helpful to others. After you have finished your paper, you may decide that you would like to share it online like our digital mentor Naomi Bishop does. If you would like to give your writing a social media presence, you can create and post it to a blog.
