One of my patterns of error is not having a strong enough thesis, I think they are always too narrow. Another one is organization, sometimes I put paragraphs in a place were they should be somewhere else. Also, I feel like I tend to get off topic a lot, which is of course not good because it will only bring down my grade. Lastly, wrapping it all up is sometimes difficult for me, I rarely know how to end a paper in a good way, the conclusion always gets to me.
