1. Misspelled/misused words and typos
2. Punctuation errors such as commas, semi-colons, and periods
3. Sentence fragments/run-on sentences
4. Incorrect agreement (subject/verb, singular/plural, noun/pronoun)
5. Parallelism errors (inconsistent wording when listing items)
6. Awkward wording/sentences; poor word choices; redundant wording; missing word(s)
7. Poor use of transitional words and sentences
8. Poor paragraph construction; ideas not centered around a topic sentence
