There are many commonalities among essays. They're primarily concerned with your writing style and analysis
Important tips: Always remember your audience. Choose an appropriate audience and be consistent! In formal essays one should avoid the use of personal pronouns (I,me,you)
Follow appropriate structure. Figure this out in advance. Do an outline first, include all the points you want to cover, THEN write it out in paragraphs.
Avoid common grammatical mistakes. Know the difference between who's and whose, their and they're, your and you're, you'd be shocked how often people do this.
Make your thesis clear. The reader should know the purpose and direction of your essay in the introduction. You don't need to divert from this course and go off on tangents.
I think if you can accomplish those goals, you can write any essay (given you have the requisite subject knowledge)
