This is how it works: 1. Discuss materials with others. Join a study group. 2. After discussing the problems, wait 30min-1hr.3. Then, write solution or code up implementation on your own.4. Debug on your own first!

• try at least 3 different things to fix bugs/solve issue• search Piazza for a solution• spend about 30mins on this before proceeding to next step

5. Only after performing step 4 and if bug still persists: • debug with study group members• go to the TAs in their office hours• post on Piazza

6. For every problem indicate with whom you discussed the problem:• for class/study group members indicate the full name and student IDs• for TAs indicate name• cite any online source you used
