This study aims to analyze the mistakes that are often made by future mathematics teachers when working on essay questions in complex analysis courses, using Watson criteria. This qualitative research was conducted in the odd semester of the 2023-2024 academic year, with the research subject being 5th-semester class C students at IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. From the data obtained, only 38.89% of students answered the questions correctly, while 61.61% of the errors made by students were categorized according to Watson's criteria. These criteria include inappropriate data (12.9%), inappropriate procedures (45.16%), omitted data (0%), omitted conclusions (9.68%), response level conflicts (8.68%), undirected manipulation (3.23%), skill hierarchy problems (20.97%), and other categories (0%). The most common error made by the majority of students was inappropriate procedures. This type of error often arises due to a lack of deep understanding of the material, confusion in applying certain concepts, or negligence in carefully reading instructions. Analysis of student errors based on Watson's criteria provides significant insight into the patterns of errors made by students.
