ENVIRO 2GI3 Lab6- Help needed
Hi,
I am getting really different answers for the lab 6 of enviro 2GI3 than anyone I know. I was wondering if anyone would be helpful to please match up/compare our answers. I will buy you a drink or a meal or even pay you in cash. Its just I really need the calculations as they are worth a lot and I think I have totally messed up and do not have the time to do the lab again(ITS due tomorrow)
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

You do realize that this is Academic Dishonesty don't you? Why not ask the TA or instructor for help? That is much safer.

it might be wise to ask the TA or your lab members for help. You will not have any luck asking here since this is a public forum...

Comparing answers isn't academic dishonesty in and of itself; if you compare and then everyone copies one answer, that IS academic dishonesty.
As a TA I saw this happen, and the student who copied did so without the other person's knowledge, under the guise of "comparing answers", since the students were in the same group. But, it is your responsibility to protect your work from plagiarism, so if you show your answers to someone and they copy - even without your knowledge - you can still get in trouble.

If it's due tomorrow then you probably don't have time to talk to the TAs...so I guess you just shouldn't have left it til the last minute to try and figure this out, not that that really helps you right now. You can try emailing them but don't bank on a response.

It sounds like you've already talked to people, so see if they can explain their answers to you and why they did what they did, and then you do the same for your answers. See if you can figure it out, and write down an answer that makes sense to YOU. Essentially taking a poll and then going with the majority isn't a good way to deal with this.

While I do agree with you, offering to buy some a drink, meal or pay cash implies something more than just comparing answers. It implies buying the solution. Now maybe that's not the intention, but it certainly looks that way. You are certainly correct though in that she shouldn't have left it until the last minute to complete. After all, there was two weeks to finish it.

Well i see your point that it seems like something more than comparing but its not. I am just saying that I will buy a person drink or something since they are taking the time out for me since they are not the ones who need the help or are benefitting from it but rather I who needs the help. I actually have my answers but just want to compare. I don't need to see someone else's assignment I just want to rather discuss our calculation steps and answers.
