The best indicator is that you should be able to redo the problem completely on your own without looking at any materials produced while working with the group. It’s always a good idea to only take rough notes when you’re working with a group, and then write up the solution on your own. How much you have to rely on your notes is a good indication of how well you understand the problem. (And remember, there’s a difference between understanding and memorizing – you should be able to tell which you’re doing.)

Also, your BoC rep is a great person to ask to help you understand what a reasonable level of collaboration is. If you’re a frosh, you should be getting a BoC talk from your house rep soon.
