But of course, just telling the students "I don't make mistakes" is a possible approach (which many teachers have), though possibly a not very satisfying one for the students..

E. g. if a student writes some text, they could write "thus, solution=5" in a new line or in the same line as the text before. What if you put the X in the wrong spot and the student adds the answer afterwards?
