Course Description

本課程旨在討論1912-1949年間中華民國的歷史。

    上世紀80年代以來,隨著大量史料的解密和刊布,特別是近年來蔣介石、宋子文、孔祥熙等民國要人的檔案及日記公布以後,中華民國史研究業已成為歷史學科中的一門顯學,引起海峽兩岸和各國學者的廣泛注意,並相繼出版了大批重要的研究成果。本課程首先回顧近年來國內外學術界民國史研究的現狀與進展,介紹民國時期檔案資料的分佈及特點,以及收集和鑒別史料的方法,然後再分若干專題,結合個人的研究,對於民國史研究中的重大問題以及最新的學術成果進行深入的討論和分析。

Honesty in Academic Work

Attention is drawn to University policy and regulations on honesty in academic work, and to the disciplinary guidelines and procedures applicable to breaches of such policy and regulations. Details may be found at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/.

With each assignment, students will be required to submit a signed declaration that they are aware of these policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures.

  • In the case of group projects, all members of the group should be asked to sign the declaration, each of whom is responsible and liable to disciplinary actions, irrespective of whether he/she has signed the declaration and whether he/she has contributed, directly or indirectly, to the problematic contents.
  • For assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based and submitted via VeriGuide, the statement, in the form of a receipt, will be issued by the system upon students’ uploading of the soft copy of the assignment.

Assignments without the properly signed declaration will not be graded by teachers.

Only the final version of the assignment should be submitted via VeriGuide.

The submission of a piece of work, or a part of a piece of work, for more than one purpose (e.g. to satisfy the requirements in two different courses) without declaration to this effect shall be regarded as having committed undeclared multiple submissions. It is common and acceptable to reuse a turn of phrase or a sentence or two from one’s own work; but wholesale reuse is problematic. In any case, agreement from the course teacher(s) concerned should be obtained prior to the submission of the piece of work.
