CPSC 101b Collaboration Policy

The Gilligan's Island Rule

When discussing an assignment with other students, you may write on a board or a piece of paper, but you may not take any written or electronic record away from the discussion. Moreover, you must engage in a full hour of mind- numbing activity (e.g., watching back-to-back episodes of Gilligan's Island) before you work on the assignment again. This will ensure that you can reconstruct what you learned from the discussion, by yourself, using your own brain. The same rule applies to nonstudents and on-line sources.
