*High level discussions are discussions about general content that seek to clarify the basic definitions or questions. If the discussion drifts towards answers to specific questions asked on an assignment, then it is no longer a high level discussion and you should push the discussion in another direction. There is some gray in this definition and you have will need to show individual responsibility and judgment to make sure that you get the benefit of clarifying discussions (if permitted) without crossing over the line to cheating and robbing yourself of the important learning experience of thinking through difficult problems yourself.
