Run on = Teachers at stone Mountain State College give higher grades than teachers at 12 of the 19 other colleges in the state college system, according to a recent report from the state Institutional Research Committiee.

TOO many ideas in one sentence and awkward structure.

Comma splice = The percentage of A's awarded to graduate students was even higher, almost two-thirds were A's.
TWO complete sentences joined by a comma.
