+<h2>Important rules and instructions</h2>
+
+<p> Welcome <strong>{{user.first_name.title}} {{user.last_name.title}}</strong>, 
+to the programming quiz! </p>
+
+<p>
+This examination system has been developed with the intention of making you 
+learn programming and be assessed in an interactive and fun manner.
+You will be presented with a series of programming questions and problems that 
+you will answer online and get immediate feedback for.
+</p>
+
+<p> Here are some important instructions and rules that you should understand 
+carefully.
+</p> 
+
+<ul>
+
+    <li>For any programming questions, you can submit solutions as many times as
+    you want without a penalty.  You may skip questions and solve them later.
+    </li>
+    
+    <li> You <strong>may</strong> use your computer's Python/IPython shell or 
+    an editor to solve
+    the problem and cut/paste the solution to the web interface.
+    </li>
+    
+    <li> <strong>You are <strong>not allowed</strong> to use any internet 
+    resources, i.e. no google etc.</strong> </li>
+    
+    <li> Do not copy or share the questions or answers with anyone until the
+    exam is complete <strong>for everyone</strong>.</li>
+    
+    <li> <strong>All</strong> your attempts at the questions are logged. 
+    Do not try to outsmart and break the testing system.  If you do, we know
+    who you are and we will expell you from the course.  You have been warned.
+    </li>
+    
+</ul>
+
+<p> We hope you enjoy taking this exam.</p>
