ASR-branded Google presentations have been created for each unit. They are available in the "ASR Google Presentation and PowerPoint Templates" folder. (They can also be accessed via the ASR intranet.) The templates are similar to the PowerPoint templates, but they can be edited by several people at once just like a regular Google Document.

Quoting 101
When you quote someone in writing, what is the correct order of punctuation marks? Here's the rule: periods and commas go inside the quotes. (Example: When I asked her what she wanted to do, she said, "I'd like to go to the park.") Semicolons and colons, on the other hand, go outside the quotation marks. You can check out additional quick grammar tips here. It's updated weekly!
New mass email template
