"Tutorial Services offered by the Center for Student Success (CFSS) are free of charge and open to all ISU students currently enrolled. A combination of one-on-one and small group tutorials are offered for many courses. Tutoring may be long-term, short-term, or single visit, depending upon the needs of the student. Students are tutored on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the semester. Tutoring is by appointment. To sign up for a tutor, a student should go to the 1st floor in Normal Hall."
The Writing Center is open and operational during ISU's online-only instruction period. To meet with a tutor for a "drop-in" or scheduled appointment, call (812) 237-2989. While the tutor will offer suggestions on the student's writing or how to solve a particular problem, the student maintains ownership of his or her work at all times. Meeting with a tutor is free.

Professors can write impressive reference letters; but they need to know you well enough to write that letter. Read the assignments, think about what you read, and speak up in class. The benefits are great.
