Incomplete answer

A complete answer starts with the problem's objective OR introduces available data/ information Or the right approach and then adds all necessary steps/supporting explanations until the answer is complete

To avoid this expert need to read the question details carefully. Attempt questions if fully

Incorrect answer

The correct answer to a problem is one that is error-free in conceptual statements, calculations, graphs, diagrams, tables, formulas, etc., whatever it takes to accomplish the goal. This reason code is applied if the solution has wrong calculations/ wrong final answer/wrong content.

Expert need to double check the solution whether correct concept, explanation, calculations provided or not before submitting. Also attempt questions if

Typo errors

A meaningful answer is possible if there are no typos in statements/expressions/ substitutions/diagrams/tables/graphs. Select this reason code if the solution has typo

Avoid any short of typos during creating the solution. Typo errors may cause

Formula error

The correct formula conceptually drives the major chunks of the problem to interlink with variables or steps. This will enable them to begin substituting, to assist in the analytical portion, etc. This reason code is applied if the solution uses a wrong formula or a formula that does not apply to the given conditions.

Double check the formulas applied in the solution to avoid formula errors. More care required as using wrong formulas lead to wrong solutions.

Incorrect graph/ diagram/tables/ charts

As per the requirements of the problem, adding objects such as graphs, diagrams, tables, and charts to an answer will enhance its value and improve students' understanding. This reason code is applied If the solution has errors in graphs/diagrams/

Care should be taken to provide neat and well labelled diagrams to avoid this kind of errors.

Programming errors

Programming consists of understanding a need and constructing a set of instructions to execute and to obtain the desired result.

There are various programming languages to use based on the question's requirements. If the solution has errors in the program provided in the solution has syntax/logical

Before submitting the answer, it is suggested to execute the code/ program.

to avoid any errors.

Grammatical errors

Meaningful sentences & conceptually correct statements are possible if the answer does not contain any grammatical errors. This reason code is applied if the solution has English language grammar or spelling errors.

A solution cannot be called a good solution if it has language errors. It is suggested to use proper language checkers if required to

Units / Notations / Significant figures errors

Often, when a problem is being solved, there will be standard units, notations, and significant figures that should be used as per the problem. The reason code is applied if the solution contains errors related to unit conversions, units, notations of parameters, significant figures or rounding off values.

Follow the same unit system provided in the question. Check the solution for units, notations, conversion factors and significant figures or rounding off

Calculation errors

Calculation refers to the process of determining a value or expression through logical or mathematical steps. Correct calculation plays a vital role in finding intermediate values and final conclusions.

Calculation errors lead to wrong final answer, so double check the calculation error before submitting answer.

Missing formulas

Formula conceptually drives major part of the problem to interlink with variables or steps. This will enable them to begin substituting, to assist in the analytical portion, etc. This reason code is applied if the solution does not show the

Make sure include relevant formulas to the solution that help to understand the solution better.

Missing supporting statements

Conceptual statements and sentences are needed to sustain the richness of explanation and maintain logical flow throughout the entire process. Authors should place reasoning or supporting statements wherever required in

Make sure to include supporting statements that help to understand the solution better.

Table/Plot missing

Specifically, for certain problems, tables and plots are mandated to accomplish the objective, and the tables or plots can be created in a step based on the previous steps / descriptions in the answer or as a step to initiate follow-up steps

Without table/plot solution is incomplete. Use available SQnA tools to draw the plots/diagrams in support of the solution.

Cohesiveness

To show cohesion, an answer must be organized by maintaining logical connections between every line and adding all necessary explanations.

Make sure to maintain logical flow within the solution. Using SQnA blocks/tools this is possible

Diagram missing

Diagrams can be part of an explanation if the question asks for them, as they also contribute to the completeness of an answer.

Without supporting diagram solution is incomplete, so make sure to upload relevant diagram before submitting. Use SQnA drawing tool

Missing Steps/ calculations

Calculations / steps are crucial to understand how intermediate conclusions are placed in an answer. Authors should demonstrate how a calculation or work was performed to produce

Create solutions with detailed steps and complete calculations steps.

Using SQnA tools step by step solution can be created
