Though
selecting this option will not solve the insufficient-data problem, it will
allow the student to seek out advice about his options and/or think through
the potential courses of actions and their consequences. This is an acceptable
solution in itself. However, the course of action the student finally decides
upon might not be. If the student finally decides to tell his advisor about
the insufficient data, or seeks advice that leads to this decision, this
is an acceptable course of action. If the student arrives as a decision
to fabricate the data or otherwise distort the research record in order
to achieve his goal of finishing up graduate studies more quickly, this
is an unacceptable solution. |
