When a minus sign changes the score

Student work and draft feedback

The question asks for the temperature after a drop of 5 °C from 2 °C. The student writes “−3 °C”, but the recognized text reads “3 °C”. The draft gives 0/1 and says the sign is wrong.

Your decision

You can see the minus sign on the scan. You change the score to 1/1 and replace the comment with “Correct: the temperature falls to −3 °C.”

Frequently asked questions

Which files can I upload from my computer?

Use PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPEG or WebP. If one student’s paper spans several pages, put them in one PDF to keep them together.

Can I correct the transcription of a student’s paper?

The recognized text on the review screen is read-only. If a reading error affected a criterion, edit its score and feedback using the original work.
