The enrolled students are required to attend all presentations and to turn in three reports for evaluation. The seminar is open to all faculty members and students.

修改增訂論文提案書，以一個學期的時間，確定個人將來論文寫作的目標。每個學生必須在第十週（十一月十六日）上課前以電郵寄出提案書給葉漢明教授（hmye@cuhk.edu.hk）。請注意，不可以當初申請入學時使用的提案書不加修改即逕行提出。可以提新的提案，但應與指導教授商量。（碩士班同學：學校規定十一月底之前必須向系內提出論文題目。）

葉教授將分配每個學生三分提案書，學生根據論文提案寫作應注意事項提出三分書面評論，就提案書之選題、題目呈現方式、問題意識、理論意涵、文獻回顧、材料性質批判、研究方法、可能之貢獻、論文大綱架構、引用文獻格式、等等，一一評論，提出自己的看法及建議，做為課程學習評量之作業。評論須在十二月一日以前以電郵交給葉漢明教授（hmye@cuhk.edu.hk），於最後一堂課上由葉教授綜合講評。

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 here.

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
• 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. 
• Students are fully aware that their work may be investigated by AI content detection software to determine originality.
• Students are fully aware of the AI approach(es) adopted in the course. In the case where some AI tools are allowed, students have made proper acknowledgment and citations as instructed by the course teacher.

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.

Students may download the teaching materials produced by the staff members/ teachers from the Learning Management Systems, e.g. Blackboard adopted by CUHK for their own educational use, but shall not distribute/ share/ copy the materials to a third-party without seeking prior permission from the staff members/ teachers concerned.
