3. Intext quotes were often too small to be truly effective.
Don't use I, my or contractions
The point of in text quotes is to show support for your position from someone smarter and more respected than you. Talking in the first person only gives you limited thoughts, but if you talk in third person, and add support from people with more knowledge, it gives your argument more weight and credibility
Introductions and conclusions were often too brief - most included a "road map", but not much analysis

4. Many students didn’t summarize their paragraphs and show how the point they are proving ties to their overall thesis
Only include information that helps prove your point. If it doesn't fit, don't include it
Thesis stated at the beginning or in the middle of the intro and not at the end.

5. Take time to reread your essay out loud
Take time to reread your essay out loud. Because formal essay writing doesn't use everyday language, It will help you catch mistakes better, and help make sure the essay flows properly
Best argument first, second best last, fill others in order from best to least.
