RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (Guidelines for drafting and reading our digests)

PRINCIPLES
1. These digests are not intended as a shortcut. Rather, these are digests intended to lessen our
time spent, and increase learning effectivity. Hence, it is suggested that the user reads the full text
hand in hand with the digests to make reading the full text faster and more efficient. Only depend on
the digest as an emergency scenario.
2. These digests are for the benefit of all. Hence, write as if you are writing for your best recitation in
class for yourself. No filler words, no irrelevant stuff, just good digests.
3. Let's be professional.
RULES
1. Respect the deadline.
2. Write the digest in your own words. Avoid copying directly from the text unless absolutely
necessary for recitation i.e. word/phrasing used is important, definition quotes etc.
3. Write the digest as readable as possible. Strive to write in layman's terms. (Avoid making it sound
as complicated as the full text).
4. STRICTLY write the digest ONLY IN RELEVANCE TO THE LESSON.
5. LIMIT DIGEST TO ONE PAGE
6. INSERT KEY WORD/FACT NEXT TO CASE NAME TO REMEMBER.
