Add FAQ

Closed this issue ยท 2 comments

Description of Issue:
While there are detailed descriptions of how RCOS works and the mission statement is clearly stated, it is not clear for absolute newcomers. I just had a incoming freshman message me about what RCOS actually did after reading rcos.io and not really understanding how it worked!

Proposed Solution:
A Frequently Asked Questions page could answer the following questions all in one place:

  • What do you do in RCOS?
  • What kind of course credit can you receive?
  • How often does RCOS meet?
  • How much time is expected per week?
  • What kind of projects can I work on?
  • Why is RCOS a unique RPI organization?

While some of these answers are addressed across the handbook, website, or Mattermost, it would be useful to have a page we can direct students to.

I think we should consolidate that into the handbook for now and post links in the #welcome channel on Discord ๐Ÿ‘

We were asked to prepare two short intro slides to present at the Freshman CS Club Fair. I will throw in some of these practical FAQ questions there!
