I can't describe how I feel now...
One moment I was shocked, one moment I was panic, one moment I was angry, one moment I felt like crying. And now, I felt like laughing.
My dissertation is due on Friday 12pm, less than 2 days later. It was only this morning that I observed that the graph provided by my project supervisor was incorrect. The two curves in 3D were being swapped around. Because it was not obvious, no one has observed the mistake except me, during this critical period while I was looking through my dissertation.
This verification of graph led me to the checking of the data and more was discovered. After comparing the results with another file, I realised that all along, I was being "cheated". The formula used to calculate the displacement was incorrect and there was a missing calculation for the force. My goodness! I quickly emailed my senior, a PhD student who is also working on microneedle, and asked if she could verify the data. In the end, she couldn't help me much. And I couldn't seek help directly from my supervisor as he was not around in his room for the whole afternoon.
If the data was wrong, that could explain why I was struggling so hard in achieving a comparable result in my modelling. All I could hope for, is that my supervisor would reply me as soon as possible, providing me with the correct data ...
I hope I will have enough time to edit my results and discussions.
