  • Publication number: 20220375360
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that executes a program stored in a storage and generates scoring criterion information. The scoring criterion information is referenced in a scoring process of an answer figure to a problem that requires drawing of a figure in a Cartesian coordinate system. The Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate plane or a coordinate space. In response to a reference figure being drawn in the Cartesian coordinate system based on a user operation, the scoring criterion information including information on a scoring criterion determined based on the reference figure is generated. The Cartesian coordinate system is displayed on a display.
