ANSWERING GUIDELINES
Guidelines
Read questions carefully to understand exactly what the asker is looking for. Be thorough and concise-make sure that you clearly explain each step of the solution with a well-organized answer. Highlight key points, important steps, and common points of confusion wherever possible. Use step delimiters and empty spaces whenever possible to improve structure and readability of an answer. If necessary, use diagrams, tables, charts, and graphs to illustrate solutions.

Answering methods
Our Experts have different ways of posting their solutions.
Acceptable forms include:
Typed
Via word processor, MathType, spreadsheets, etc.
We recommend typing answers when possible to maximize clarity-tools like MathTypeand our built in editor allow you to do this easily
Handwritten
ONLY if you have neat, legible form
Uploaded images must be clear, good quality, and rotated correctly Sometimes, the quickest way to create a diagram or chart is to draw it by hand If your handwriting is less than ideal or you can͛t upload good Ƌuality images for any reason, don͛t worry-we͛ll just ask you to type all of your answers
Both-typing explanations and drawing diagrams
Typed Answers
Typed answers are always
neat and easy to read-great for helping students understand your work
With tools like MathType
and our built in Equation
Editor, it͛s eǀen easy to type
out different types of symbols-like this example with integrals, deltas, and trigonometric functions

Handwritten
Hand-writing answers can be
faster than typing out equations, but one of its biggest perks is how easy it is to draw/label graphs, like this example here
Neat, legible handwriting is key
to submitting clear solutions

Explain solutions step-by-step
Students rely on
us to receive accurate solutions
AND to
understand how to arrive at the solutions
As an Expert, it is
absolutely crucial that you explain to students how you have arrived at your conclusions
Not helpful.
Helpful!
Step by Step
Prefaced properly
All variables stated, when
applicable
All equations clearly shown
Every single step clearly
separated
Calculations done
thoroughly
Final answer addressing the
question (always read the question before you answer!)

Multiple Choice
Questions
Students often post multiple choice
questions, BUTthese should not receive a multiple choice answer
Since the purpose of Q&A is to help
students learn how to solve problems, please show all work and the steps it took to get to your final answer
Multiple choice
Multiple choice questions
deserve full explanations, no matter how short they are- this example gives a perfect amount of information about
CH3CH2SH and natural gas.
This is helpful!

8 Sometimes, askers post multiple questions at once. In these situations, you can follow this minimumprotocol: Questions with >1 question: answer the first full question *UNLESS a student asks for a specific answer. For instance, they will ask you to ͞answer η3" or ͞answer the second Ƌuestion." Please pay attention to their reƋuest and answer the appropriate question. Questions with >4 subparts: answer at least the first 4 subparts e.g. Question 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d *UNLESS the student asks for a specific answer These are only minimum requirements-we always encourage any efforts to go above and beyond!

Answering page-Skip
If you realize now that you are unable to answer the question, you can still skip it: A pop up will ask you why you are skipping the question now-select your reason from the dropdown.
Remember-this list shows you all validreasons for skipping a question! You cannot skip a question because it is too long-you are allotted a maximum of 2 hours to answer.
Skip reason-Question is in a different subject
Sometimes, askers post their questions in the wrong subject. You can re-categorize the question into the correct subject using the provided drop down. PLEASE be carefulwhen moving questions to the proper subject. An incorrect change will prevent the student from getting their answer.
We take these actions very seriously.

Skip reason-More information needed
You may need to skip a question because more information is needed: Variables are missing, background information is necessary, charts/graphs are needed, symbols are not showing up properly, etc. In these cases, please be as descriptive and clear as possible in the Additional Information field-your comment will be emailed to the asker, who can fill in the missing info.
Skip reason-Abusive/Spam
Askers rarely post inappropriate content on our site.
If it happens, this abuse usually involves spam/solicitation (such as telling people to visit external sites or asking to be contacted via email).
Though this does happen, it is not common. Unless a question is actually abusive in the listed ways, please DO NOT label a question as abusive.
12/9/2015
14 Skip reason-Do not have the subject knowledge to answer At times, you may not have the knowledge to answer a certain question. If so, select this reason and move on to the next question. However, as an expert, we do expect that you have sufficient knowledge of your subject. Extremely high skip rates using this reason (compared to Expert Answerer averages) will be closely monitored by our team.
Things to avoid
Incomplete solutions
Guessing
If you are unsure, skip for ͞Need More Information"
No explanation
Do not post an answer without explaining how to get it! Submitting ǀalues, letters, ͞True"ͬ"False" is NOT HELPFUL͊ Slang, abbreviations, shortened words (e.g. u for you)
Plagiarism
Posting personal or company details
Personal email addresses, contact numbers, blog URLs, identity credentials, confidential correspondences, etc.
Posting answers in invalid questions-skip those!
Skipping questions without a valid reason
This negatively impacts other Experts, and remember that our team will pay close attention to this Skipping to find easy or short questions is easily trackable-answer fairly!

Avoid: Answer Editing
Setting placeholders to edit your answers-don͛t do it͊
What does this mean?
Well, writing a short answer or comment in order to save a question is abusive-regardless of whether or not you return to finish your answer later. Sometimes, you may want to save your place and come back later. This can͛t happen͊
Why is this so bad?
Students think the answer is spam! We will get abuse reports from them about answers that they think are inappropriate. Also, what are the chances that you will forget to answer properly later?
We can tell you that those chances are too high.
Bottom line: do not do it.
