Description

Calculate supplied unanswered-question count.

Adult-learning records distinguish self ratings, comparison criteria, acknowledgments, feedback states and recognized credits. Closing a feedback item can mean completion or decline, while a reported rating gap does not establish competence. Supplied priorities and evidence references need the broader learning context.

Calculate supplied unanswered-question count.

When to use this tool

Limitations and assumptions

  • Negative discrepancies are retained if answers exceed questions. No actual response, question identity, answer quality or learner outcome is verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the complete goals, criteria, learner preferences, evidence and recognition policy. Use an appropriate educational assessment for learning decisions; local labels, time gaps and supplied credit balances do not establish outcomes or informed agreement.
