I noticed that my essays are terrible when I don't have a good thesis and when I don't answer the question. (This makes perfect sense.) For compare and contrasts, I've also noticed that I can remember to analyze and make direct comparisons but never do either together. For change over time, I think the most difficult is remembering both parts and the global context. I think for both, I can get some evidence to support my thesis. Also for both, I just give up on expanded core. For compare and contrast, I attempt to include global context for the extra points but I don't really bother for change over time essays.
