• don’t date a fellow probationer inside csa..or you’ll ruin your reputation
• don’t show any notions to faculty member..be very humble and friendly.
• don’t try to be dictatorial when given leadership role..be very very very nice and friendly with other members.
• don’t copy and paste the book review..try to write it in your own words
• don’t take lightly any warning (aka threat) given by authorities..they will sort you out if you play with them

• don’t exhaust you leave account before cst
• don’t argue with ctp director or dg..or they’ll make your life hell
