So I am in the midst of finals week and I receive a note from the gen chem lab director. He wasn't there when I went to his office, so i left a note with my email. A couple of hours later, he sends me an email that says that I have falsified my lab data.
Now, here's the thing. I did two trials of the lab. I recorded the first trial on my lab notebook - upon which they keep the carbon copy - and mistakenly recorded my second trial (which I used to answer the questions and such) on an earlier page that happened to look like the page I was previously writing on.
He's given me a zero for the lab and I don't want to be punished for an honest mistake. Do I justly deserve that grade?
