...Communication Styles Worksheet You spent the past few days exploring the resources available to students at University of Phoenix, and you want to share what you learned with a friend who is interested in enrolling. Write a 150- to 200-word e-mail to your friend summarizing the resources available to students. I would share the fact of they have a write point grammar which corrects your paper for misspelled words, punctuation, accidentally confused words. Sometimes you might be to still writing casual writing instead of academic writing. Then they have review plagiarism writing so you can check your paper for that. Then they have a 3week orientation so you will learn all about online school instead of just jumping into it and being confused. They teach you all about loans and what you should take out and what you should not. A time management makes you have time for school and how to manage things like work and kids. What you should do if you are a procrastinator or even if you get bored with school like I do sometimes. Then have scholarships for every year you complete a year and when you log on to the website they have a list of scholarships. Then you can chat with other students so you will not feel alone in the classroom. You asked your facilitator to review your e-mail draft. She liked what you wrote and asked you to write a summary to post in the class forum for the other students to read. Write a 150- to 200-word summary for your class of the resources...
