Assistance for Students
At the USF Polytechnic Writing Center, students receive assistance in targeted areas of writing. The Writing Center counselor provides one-to-one attention for a particular writing assignment and addresses global and local paper concerns.
We assist student writer in areas such as:
- focusing on topics
- organizing ideas
- strengthening arguments
- documenting research
- revising style
- revising grammar
- revising for second language issues
However, we do not:
- write, edit or proofread students' papers
- write on students' papers
