Although I am learning about how to professionally write letters or emails, I tend to format certain parts of my sentences incorrectly. APA writing as a whole is a bit of a struggle for me, but I am learning more and more with every class I take and every paper I write.

Now I know that PowerPoint presentations can be used for fun educational things, too, such as a “welcome” presentation, or a movie slide for an open house. I also learned that PowerPoints are not perfect, and other written
