FAQ

  1. Q: What is departmental guideline for plagiarism?
    A: If a student is found plagiarizing, his/her case will be reported to the Department Discipline Committee. If the case is proven after deliberation, the student will automatically fail the course in which he/she committed plagiarism. The definition of plagiarism includes copying of the whole or parts of written assignments, programming exercises, reports, quiz papers, mid-term examinations. The penalty will apply to both the one who copies the work and the one whose work is being copied, unless the latter can prove his/her work has been copied unwittingly. Furthermore, inclusion of others' works or results without citation in assignments and reports is also regarded as plagiarism with similar penalty to the offender. A student caught plagiarizing during tests or examinations will be reported to the Faculty Office and appropriate disciplinary authorities for further action, in addition to failing the course.
  2. Q: What is ACM ICPC?
    A: Association of Computer Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest. Teams from CUHK have done quite well in the previous years. More information on the CSE's programming team can be found at http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~acmprog.
  3. Q: What are some of the common mistakes made in online and real-time contest?
    A: There are a few common mistakes. Please check out this site for more information.
