Errors that I made pretty frequently throughout the year include:
1. Awkward Phrases. Some of the sentences I wrote were not worded as best as they could be and therefore could be easily confused or misunderstood by the reader.
2. Long Sentences/Quotes. I've received comments on several sentences saying that they were too long and when I read them I agreed. If I had broken the long sentence into 2 sentence then it wouldn't be a problem.
3. Wrong context. In the research paper our class wrote, we were supposed to base almost all of our information on, well, research. We were allowed to input our opinion, but not too much. I for one did compute too much of what I thought into the paper rather than facts.
4. Conventions. I have misplaced words in some sentences such as having "this" where "the" should be. This was either a cause of me not noticing or just not knowing what the correct word was.
5. Word Choice. In just about all my essays, I received a disappointing grade in this category. In retrospect, I think this was just a cause of undeveloped writing and/or not enough words that displays the level I should be at.
6. Process Material Issues. On papers such as The literary analysis where we had extra materials that we were to turn in before the actual paper, there were problems such as me not turning them in on time or not doing them correctly.
