Notes:

(1)      Most courses are term courses under the Credit-based System.  Therefore,
           if a course is not a term course, it has to be stated explicitly in the syllabus.

 

(2)      Prerequisite:

          If a course has a prerequisite, a student must have taken and passed it before enrolling in the course concerned.

 

(3)      Co-requisite:

 If a course has a co-requisite, a student must take both courses in the same
 term.

 

(4)      Exclusion:

 If a course has another course as exclusion, a student is allowed to enroll
 only
in one of the two courses during  his/her period of study, unless he/
 she fails any one.

 

(5)      Format for Readings:

           Author, Book Title (in italics), Edition, Place, Publisher, Year.

           e.g.   Slevin, James, The Internet and Society, 2nd ed., Cambridge:
         Polity Press, 2000.

                   饒美蛟、盧榮俊等編:《香港企業環境與管理》,香港

                          工商管理研究社出版,1991年。

          (Titles of Chinese publications should be printed in Chinese and where

            possible followed by English.  For translated works, the title and author

            of the original work need to be provided.)

 

(6)        The syllabus of a Chinese course can be presented in either way:

a)   written in Chinese with an English version, or

b)   basically in English, but with information in Chinese for some items, e.g. course titles, course description, indicative content, readings, etc.
