Although
selecting this option will not solve the differences in the data, 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 disparate data, or seeks advice that leads to this decision, this is
an acceptable course of action. If the student arrives as a decision to
alter the data or otherwise distort the research record in to achieve his
goal of finishing up graduate studies more quickly, this is an unacceptable
solution. |
