Stay away from cliches. The teachers are all over this type of writing like white on rice (example of cliche). Also, stay away from passive tense, using have or has, is or was, (or other tenses of the verbs) in front of the action verb.

I don't know if these have been mentioned, but... 'Very' and references to 'the text above' or 'as stated above' or 'the aforementioned' whatever, etc.

I've never made at least one word, but I have issues with 'a lot'.

Maquarrie First person speech and the words there in. Of course, this is broken if the paper is about oneself. Actually, if you're writing a formal paper on a novel/poem/short story/author, the paper should be in first person.

My lecturers seem not to care what person I speak in whether it's First or Third. I was told in High School to use Third as it's considered more formal. However most of my lecturers 'prefer' first person.
It depends on the teacher/lecturer/proscriber as to what is considered appropriate.

A few years ago, my English teacher told me not to use the word 'kid' or 'kids', because the correct wording is child or children.

My teachers always say to stay away from rhetorical questions, cliches, and first and second person. By second person I mean no 'you's and so on.

Interesting. I find it increasingly annoying to find "where as" in place of "whereas".
However, I believe both to be correct, just my personal views. I'm just narcistic.
