Commentary session
          (15 minutes)
The commentary
          group can ask questions concerning the following recommended
          topics. I suggest each student in the commentary group
          concentrates on one topic and asks relevant questions during
          the commentary session. I expect each member of the commentary
          group will ask at least two questions. 
These are
          suggested topics.
1)      Problem
          definition:
a.      
          Is it well defined and clear? 
b.      
          Is it logical?
2)     
          Execution of the research:
a.      
          Is the questionnaire well designed and written?
b.      
          Is the data collection process good enough?
3)     
          Analysis of data
a.      
          Does the research collect enough data?
b.      
          Does the data collected give enough information to draw the
          conclusion?
c.      
          Any suggestion on data collection?
4)      Comment
          on suggestion and conclusion
a.      
          Is the conclusion good enough?
b.       Is the final
          suggestion given by the presentation group gives enough
          guideline for the audience?

              then the presentation group.

Academic honesty,
          plagiarism and AI tools
| 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.
                For group projects, all students of the same group
                should be asked to sign the declaration. 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 receipt will not be
                graded by teachers. Only the final version of the
                assignment should be submitted via VeriGuide. As a general
                principle, students are prohibited from using any AI
                tools to complete their assignments, assessments and any
                other works that count towards their final grade of the
                course or attainment of the desired learning outcomes,
