The Writing Studio

 

The Polk State Writing Studio allows students to work with Polk State English Faculty to develop writing skills. There are grammar, research and writing concept modules you can work through, & even earn a certificate for compleiting.

Additionally, there is a Self-Check for Grammar and Plagiarism option (TurnItIn report) for students to use as an aid in improving their writing.

All you need to do to use The Polk State Writing Studio, is enroll in the course via Canvas & access it from your Canvas dashboard.

  2. Select Infobase Learning Cloud from Quick Links on the left
