This looks good to me. To be honest, I got halfway through some of the paragraphs and realized that they went into more detail than I cared to know about. I'll bring that point up for standup, I don't think there is anything actionable there, we don't have a consistent writing style for these posts yet.

| The `pl-sketch` element supports a range of different grading criteria. For grading curve sketches, comparisons to reference functions are a convenient option that can be customized further by defining comparison ranges and tolerances. Points and asymptotes can be similarly graded based on their expected number and coordinates. | ||

| Sometimes, questions might be designed to allow a range of different answers. For example, a question might require students to draw any positive, monotonically increasing function that connects two points. To support such complex requirements, `pl-sketch` element provides a collection of modular grading criteria that implement checks like _"Is the function monotonically increasing in a given x-range?"_ or _"Is the function always greater than a given value or other function?"_ |

how many grading criteria do we have? maybe we can just list all of them?

There's 11, and I wouldn't just list/explain them all here, especially since some, like defined-in/undefined-in, might not be super intuitive until someone actually starts designing a concrete question.
Independently of this blog post, I think we want to eventually have a more elaborate set of sample questions (similar to how pl-drawing has its own subsection in the example course) that show off a couple of practical use cases and also explain each grading mode with the relevant parameters in detail.

can we show off the initial state (picture) + solution overlay feature (gif)? those are cool features.

Working on this now.

Any further edits I will make directly to the PR rather than a lengthy back-and-forth with Nico. That will help us get this post published in a timely manner. |
