Yay for 100th blog post!
As for essays the biggest struggles (myself included) was effectively using literary devices. And I think the problem is that as soon as we see the essays we get so excited and then go straight for the prompt and attack it without an effective prewrite.
But overall as a class there is big improvement all around. In the beginning of last semester, our essays would occasionally go off topic or were just irreverent to the prompt but I didn't see any of that in the essays I read. All the essays had something to say about the book and made valid, well supported points.
