* Tony, I know you are considering enrollment at University of Phoenix. I would like to briefly share with you my personal experiences. The curriculum and syllabus are well documented and very easy to follow. The facilitators are very knowledgeable and make you feel right at home. The courses are quite flexible as far as time commitments. In the Associates program you have 2 courses to complete per semester. The resources available are vast, but very easy to find and are very intuitive. I had no problem navigating my way around the website. There are many styles of presentations each week to enable you to complete your assignments. The library is one of the best I have ever seen. You will be able to search on your subject, and then filter just the data you need. Another rewarding benefit I found is that your advisor will help guide you through any areas of concern and will be in contact with you at least once a week to see how you are progressing. I think by choosing University of Phoenix, you will have made the right choice for you future.

Dear Fellow Classmates, I received my e-mail draft back from the facilitator. She gave me positive feedback to my approach on the subject of using student resources. Following the first week of courses, I felt very comfortable in using the tools outlined in the syllabus. The videos are well thought out and easy to follow.
I found the ‘MyFoundationsLab’ link to be a valuable resource. This link will take you to the core areas of academics. The tutorial is easy and well-conceived. If you find yourself stuck, you are just a click away for help or hints. The scores are maintained for future access. This will allow you to re-take tests or polish up in areas where you need improvement.
A couple of the areas of great importance are the ‘Center for Writing Excellence’ and the ‘Center for Mathematics Excellence’. These two learning centers are feature rich and designed to instill success for the student.
The University Library’s design is one of the biggest time savers I have found for doing research. You don’t ever have to leave your seat, to get all the information you will ever need, right at your fingertips with just a simple search expression and a click of the mouse.
