Write buffers are disabled for flashdrives by default to prevent such errors, but you're right - it's a good habit to use the stop command before unplugging USB devices.NoTime said:

I do my stuff on paper and have never had that problem.
I print hard copies every so often, and do most of my editing on the hard copy before typing it onto the computer version (looking at a computer screen, it's easy to lose context and wind up with every paragraph starting with the same clause). I have back-ups on two computers and two flash drives too (not all the same version, but the stuff that's hardest to recreate is all in multiple places). This means that if one computer or drive fails, at worst, I have to transcribe my scribble from hard copy back to a typed version on the computer, which is a lot faster than trying to re-compose the thoughts that went into the writing.There could be several reasons for missing lab report pages. It could be due to human error (misplacement or accidental deletion), technical issues (corrupted file or computer malfunction), or external factors (natural disasters or theft).
It is not advisable to submit an incomplete lab report. The missing pages may contain crucial data or information that could affect the overall accuracy and validity of your results. It is best to try and retrieve the missing pages or redo the experiment to ensure the completeness of your report.
If you are unable to retrieve the missing pages, you should inform your supervisor or instructor immediately. They may have suggestions or protocols for handling missing pages in lab reports.
It depends on the guidelines and policies set by your institution or department. Some may have a specific penalty or deduction for missing pages, while others may allow for exceptions in certain circumstances. It is crucial to communicate with your supervisor or instructor to clarify any penalties or consequences for missing pages in your lab report.
To prevent missing lab report pages, you can take extra precautions, such as making digital copies of your report or saving multiple versions on different devices. It would also help to keep your lab report organized and properly labeled to avoid misplacement. Lastly, regularly backing up your work can also prevent significant losses in case of unforeseen circumstances.
