| Oct 31, 2015 at 16:11 | comment | added | Mad Jack | Should I try and "bite the bullet" and learn the task(s) he has at hand to finish the project or should I decline his offer on the basis of not being skillful enough to be of use? — Neither, I suggest a third option: come clean about your skills/abilities, and ask your prof if they are willing to rescope the project. | |
