Writing Center
The I.S.U. Writing Center offers a variety of services at no charge to I.S.U. students, staff, and faculty. We work with students to improve the quality of the academic writing they do for their courses at all levels, and we serve as a resource for university faculty, supporting writing across the curriculum in the General Education courses and in all the disciplines.
Students
Writing Center consultants in Pocatello and Idaho Falls work individually with students on writing assignments for graduate and undergraduate courses in all subjects. Whether you're working on an anthropology paper or a business proposal, our consultants can help you
- discover and develop your ideas
- explore your audience's expectations
- revise for focus and organization
- build editing and proofreading skills.
The Writing Center can also help you work on problem areas such as writer's block, essay test taking, and mechanics. In addition, consultants are available to work on applications and exam preparation for graduate and professional schools and general employment.
And if you can't meet with a consultant in Pocatello or Idaho Falls, try our Online Writing Lab!
