Just got done grading a good group of Environmental Science 400-level essays. Some of the common mistakes I saw made that will make good upcoming posts are:
-excessive use of transition words and phrases
-improper word order
-failing to use the "conversation test"
-going for sheer # of features in a paragraph without merit, conciseness, or stress of important features
These will be discussed in upcoming posts along with some posts I have been keeping in my back pocket:
-need for creative thought
-expressing creative process/thought throughout your writing/research
-writing moods/modes
-solid science introductions
-framing a research question or goal
