Safety & Lab Policies Quiz question

[Zellmer, Robert]

I've received several questions about the "Data Integrity" question in
this quiz.  Some people are struggling with getting the correct set of
answers.  Here's a paragraph about data integrity from the syllabus:

DATA INTEGRITY: Data integrity is critical to your success in chemistry. Thus, it is important to remember that data and procedural information in your lab notebook cannot be altered in any way after you have left the lab. The data and written procedures recorded in your Post-Lab or Smart Worksheet (see below) should match the data and procedures in your lab notebook, so we encourage students to be careful when copying procedure or data from your notebook to your Post-Lab or Smart Worksheet. Changing data or adding detail to a written procedure in a Post-Lab or Smart Worksheet is considered data fabrication. Common examples of data fabrication include adding zeros to values, changing exact values or observations, or adding details to procedures. For more information, review the "A Note About Data Integrity" page on Carmen and the "Standards of Academic Conduct in General Chemistry" below

Note, this is all about changing or adding data and changing observations made in lab.

Look at the "Note About Data Integrity" submodule in the Laboratory module in Carmen.
There's a table at the bottom of that page that lists some examples of data fabrication.
There's also an important footnote below this table about adjusting calculations.  Read
it carefully.
