Another day down, another teeny, tiny parargraph done on my lab report. Each and every sentence involved a gruelling effort...from Sean. They are his words, not mine. I certainly did not set out to have him do my homework for me, and he would never, ever agree to it either. But the end result is pretty much the same, since I needed hand holding,

Just curious: is the instructor for this course kindly and mainly concerned that the students are plugged in and learning something? Or is he/she more of a by-the-book douche? If a douche, I would "reconstruct" the lost data to the best of my memory and just slap the thing together, because with douches, there's no telling what kind of grade you're going to get no matter what you do. And as for the academic integrity bit, it's not like you're making shit up to save yourself from work. Hell, your first paragraph above shows you've examined the problem from every conceivable angle and that you in no way spared yourself effort

My instructor is extremely nice, and I probably should have done exactly what you've suggested. It feels a little weird at this point, though, since the paper is already five days overdue. Also, my part was supposed to be the introduction and written part of the results. The methods, figures, and discussion have already been done by the others, with virtually no communication between us...yep.

No need to apologise for the advice; I appreciate you taking the time!

Group work is just the worst. Ugh.

Hear, hear.
