If you are unable to resolve satisfactorily your conflicts and differences, the course instructor can consult with you to seek a mutually acceptable solution. If asked, the course instructor can act as a binding arbitrator to hear all sides of the problem and choose an appropriate action. Error and Fraud Researchers are fallible and make honest mistakes. Mistakes made while trying to do one's best are part of learning, but mistakes made through gross negligence are not. Gross haste, carelessness, and inattention can lead to work that does not meet the minimal standards of research.
Some researchers demand speed rather than care.
Sacrificing the quality of one's work through negligence and fraud will, in the long run, have a detrimental effect on one's career. The odds are that one's peers and supervisors will detect consistent sacrifices of quality or acts of fraud. In short, don't commit fraud. Exercise reasonable care in conducting your research to avoid gross negligence. In a lifetime of reading and studying, one's thoughts incorporate and overlap with those of others.
