I am coming to the end of a MSc. I am part of a 7 person team who have been working on a project which forms part of our assessment. Two of the team members have seriously screwed up, with the result that the data the rest of us have worked with and built on during the project is completely wrong. They set up and ran the initial experiment and everything we have done since relies on their data. There is no time left to repeat the work.
The support from the tutor has been poor. She set us off, and disappeared off to do her lucrative commercial work and now has come back and noticed the error and is panicking and blaming us. She has said in so many words “don’t be blaming each other for this, you’re all masters students and all part of the team.”
I’m very sad, as apart from this project I was expecting a merit/distinction. I’m a very mature student, so this is my last go round at education in a new field.
Should I put in my report that they screwed up, or just accept that as part of the team I am equally responsible?
