Treat the Internet the same way as you would a classmate: you are
allowed to look up individual answers, discuss general questions
related to C++ and programming but you are not allowed to copy exact
assignment or solicit solutions for the exact assignment given in the
lab.

Caveat for CSI students: all you need to successfully complete lab
assignment is given in the lectures. "Looking stuff up" on the
Internet is likely to be more confusing and increase time spent on the
assignment.

Thanks,
