Words from Dean Welcome to the big family of the Faculty of Social Sciences! I hope you will find the coming years both intellectually stimulating and academically rewarding.

The Faculty of Social Sciences was established in 1967 and has since undergone rapid expansion and significant transformation. Today, the Faculty comprises the Departments of Geography, Politics and Public Administration, Psychology, Social Work and Social Administration, and Sociology. It also has nine multidisciplinary research units that provide a platform for research interaction and collaboration among colleagues on campus and in the wider world. The Faculty, as a leading provider of social sciences learning in Asia, strives to maintain and advance its position as an international centre for the creation, integration, transmission and application of social sciences knowledge. Through our focus on Social Innovation (SI) and Global Citizenship (GC), we also seek to contribute to the advancement of society and the development of leaders through a local, regional, and global presence. To prepare for the new 4-year curriculum, the University has constructed the new Centennial Campus to provide additional space to support the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core functions. The Faculty was pleased to have moved from the old office at the Meng Wah Complex to a big new one at The Jockey Club Tower in the Centennial Campus in late April. The relocation of all Faculty departments was completed in mid July and we are now all under one roof. To cope with the extensive student headcounts, the Faculty has also recruited extra administrative and support staff to meet the heavy workload. Students will be fully supported by the Faculty ranging from registration, course enrolment, exchange, internship and examination matters. This year the Faculty celebrates its 45th Anniversary. In the year ahead, we intend to expand our existing student exchange and internship programmes, and to look into creative ways of developing summer institutes for intensive study. Professor John P Burns Dean

ExCo介紹 Introduction of ExCo

講左咁耐，到底三蛇裏有甚麼人呢？現在就讓他們向你自我介紹一下吧！ So what’s going on in SSS? We’ve got 11 enthusiastic ex-cos who can’t wait to meet you all!

主席殷嘉駿 BSocSc (II)

Chairman Henry Yan

咁多位Freshmen你地好！我係三蛇主席殷嘉駿，莊友通常會直接叫我「主席」，或者叫我英文名Henry。我個人好貪心，咩都試，咩都想做，覺得自己人一世物一世咩都要試。就係因為咁，大學第一年就少左好多時間行街、聽歌、搵朋友，陪屋企......究竟時間應該點分配？得閒搵我傾下啦 :) Hi dear freshmen! I am the Chairman of the Society, other executive committee usually call me “Chairman” directly, or call me Henry. I am a “greedy” person who wants to try everything! In my Year 1, I had less time for hanging around, listening to songs and gathering with family... How should we manage our time? Find me and have a chat! :)

Rita眼中的Henry: 我們的殷主席一向以外貌俊俏、體格魁梧見稱，不僅如此，主席能同時兼顧大學五件事，不能少覷。當然他作出了取捨，新鮮人若對大學生活有疑問都可找我們的主席，他和藹可親，定當樂意跟大家分享。 Rita’s impression on Henry: Our Chairman Henry Yan is famous for his handsomeness and perfect body shape. Furthermore, our chairman managed to finish the five “must-do” in university. For sure, he put priority over these issues. For Henry is so nice, friendly and gentle, freshmen are highly welcomed to talk to him and ask him anything.

Internal Vice-chairman Siuson Siu BSocSc (II) 莊內的思考機器，就愛想想想不愛做做做，一般被指最有用的撻皮者。特有技能是開會時擺出一副沉思樣子便可被認為在參與其中。

內務副主席蕭浚傑

One who’s so addicted to thinking that causes him rarely work on anything, and therefore often accused for being “tappy”.

Henry眼中的Siuson: 人如其名：英俊瀟灑，在大學初期已抱得美人歸，羨剎旁人；角立傑出，身為內務副主席，能帶領莊友在deadline前完成所有工作，實在為主席的好幫手 Henry’s impression on Siuson: Everything is so excellent for Simpson. He found his love at the very beginning of the academic year, and is now a great boyfriend! (HAHA!) On the other hand, as the internal vice-chairman, he is very helpful and can always finish his tasks at the last minute before the deadline!

外務副主席池嘉怡 External Vice-chairman BSocSc (II)

Ronnie Chee

你好新鮮社科人! 我是池同學 (很容易認，特徵: 塊面很圓)!! 當大學生，心情很興奮吧! 期待大學五件事? 入到大學，乜都要試? 這都是正常的心態! 大學是個極自由的地方，你喜歡做什麼也沒有別人管，但三年很有限，最重要是想清楚自己最希望在大學完成的事，不然很容易走失啊!!! Hello Fresh Social Scientists! This is Ronnie greeting you all! Feel excited about your Uni life? Can’t wait to nose around and make new friends? Come to me, my dear member! I am hyper all the time so come to me whenever you want to laugh endlessly. I am talkative too so come to me whenever you have questions or news to share, especially if you have questions about HKU or Social Sciences curriculum, don’t hesitate and ask! I just can’t wait to meet you and hear from you! Enjoy your HKU life!

Moon眼中的Ronnie: 堅強的池議員、得意但又成日發癲的小鹿、熱情愛莊的EV......百變小櫻，越變越可愛～ Moon’s impression on Ronnie: Tough and Strong, cute and crazy, passionate and concentrated… This is our External Vice-chairman, Ronnie, an attractive girl.

General Secretary Katherine Chan BSocSc (II) 哈囉，各位Freshmen們！我是Gen Sec Katherine。:) 我是一個很普通的人，有着很普通的嗜好。平日愛看電影、愛拍照、聽韓文歌、在嫂房玩Mario......哈哈～總之過得開心就足夠了，歡迎大家加入三蛇這個大家庭，希望能與大家打成一片，有緣的話，OCAMP做我仔仔女女吧！(P.S. 一定一定要介紹我個至愛Rilakkuma!)

常務秘書陳淑媛

Nice to meet you, freshmen! I am General Secretary, Katherine. I am an ordinal person. I like watching movies, taking photos, listening to Korean pop songs and playing Mario in society room, etc. Welcome to our SSS big family! I wish to know all of you. If there is a chance, you may become one of my sons or daughters in ocamp! (P. S. I must introduce my love Rilakkuma!)

Jessie 眼中的Katherine: Gen Sec姐姐，嫂房主人。看似冇乜野做但其實好忙，所有活動要預約場地物資都要經佢。莊的幕後功臣。好喜歡鬆弛熊。會chok聲。:P成日俾莊友激親因為我地唔執野搞到嫂房好混亂。 Jessie’s impression on Katherine: General Secretary, owner of the Society Room. In charge of all bookings of events. Loves Rilakkuma. Other Exco members always make her mad because we are sooo untidy :o

Financial Secretary Moon Ho BSocSc (II) Hi，我係月亮。每日都有小小變化既財務秘書。有D慢熱，有D撻皮，有D嚴肅，有D宅。但月有陰晴圓缺，其實我時不時都會熱情下，搏盡下同埋溫柔下架～至於宅呢點就已經根深蒂固，改唔到了～

財務秘書何月嫻

Hi, I am Moon, Financial Secretary who changes a little every day. Ron眼中的Moon: Moon, 月亮姐姐, 三蛇財政司, 把守三蛇資產, 有時傻更更, 但做野有交帶 Ron’s impression on Moon: Moon, Miss Moon, financial secretary of SSS, HKUSU, sometimes she’s a bit silly, yet she’s also a responsible girl.

Faculty Affairs Secretary Phyllis Tang BSocSc (II) 自古以來很少有人第一次就能把我的名字讀/寫/串得正確，中英文名也是。大學裏很多朋友都叫我Phy phy。自覺給人的第一印象都是假象，至少不是完全真正的我，做了好朋友後就會知道了～給新鮮人的話：大學幾年可做的事多得很，但要時時提醒自己別迷失！還有，忙之餘記著要學懂放鬆，不要chur死自己 :)

院務秘書鄧藹婧

Hi, I don’t know how to describe myself here but my friends always say that the first impression I gave is not the real me. Words to dear freshmen – there’s a lot you can try in university. Yet it’s important that you don’t lose yourself and remember to relax at times! Also, feel free to chat with me or ask me anything about social sciences curricula. I’m always there to help you ;) Katherine眼中的Phyllis: 她看似很Cool、很斯文，但認識了她之後就會發現她的另一面。她十分關心別人，很有義氣，搏盡莊務，是一個好好的莊友和朋友。所以，千萬不要被她的外貌騙倒啊！

Katherine’s impression on Phyllis: Phyllis seems so cool and gentle at first glance. After knowing her, you would discover different sides of her. As a friend and a “jong yau”, she is caring, hard-working and nice. Don’t be cheated by her appearance!

External Affairs Secretary Ron Lam BSocSc (II) 香港大學學生會社會科學學會2012 外務秘書林朗晉，外務鐵三角之一，Motto: 搏盡(莊務)無悔

外務秘書林朗晉

Ron, external affairs secretary of Social Sciences Society, HKUSU 2012, one of the external triangle, Motto: Bok Chun (jong affairs) Emily眼中的Ron: 好多計仔好多屎橋lol 好多口水好有趣好人一個黎嫁!^^ 得閒搵佢吹下水啦!:D 佢一定樂意奉陪嫁!

Emily’s impression on Ron: Ron = Noisy. With Ron in our society room, there will be noise, noise and noise (Haha!)!A guy with lots of funny ideas and VERY talkative!!!He’s very interesting and nice! My good jongyau! Feel free to find him and make friends with him, you will definitely enjoy chatting with him!

Current Affairs Secretary Jessie Tang BSocSc (II) 我係by-election上莊的CA sec Jessie :) 慢熱。有時發癲有時好靜。爛口。不擅溝通的話題終結者。唔聽普通話歌外國歌日本歌韓文歌，只聽廣東話歌。喜愛張繼聰謝安琪農夫麥浚龍劉浩龍，是的，口味比較獨特。會選修社科裏最冷門的地理。

時事秘書鄧蔚茵

This is Current Affairs Secretary, Jessie :) Sometimes talkative but sometimes very shy. Loves to listen to Canton Pop (only). Is going to take Geography as major, so just feel free to find me if you have any question about Geog :)

Simpson眼中的Jessie: 典型把理想當飯吃的青年，滿腔熱血做着別人不敢做的事，常人早碰壁痛得要命，但可恨的是她現今還吃得很好死不了。莊內的話題終結者，是主席威嚴以外最能控制紀律的武器。 Simpson’s impression on Jessie: Ambitious, energetic and with passion, Jessie always fights for her believes. She is also the “terminator” in here who usually ends discussion in an odd way.

Publications Secretary Hilda Ng BSocSc (II) 新鮮人你們好！我是做海報的出版秘書和做刊物的宣傳秘書。在港大這裏，我遇到各式各樣的人，找到屬於自己的地方。每個人都有自己的故事，不知道你們各自背負着甚麼來到這裏？實在很有興趣聽聽。我希望你們在這裏能學懂堅持，學懂搏盡，做到真正無悔。

出版秘書吳昫澄

Hi freshers! This is Hilda, a publications secretary who spent too much time on publicity. I spent my first year here with lots of laughter and tears, and I wish you would have your own memorable journey here in HKU too. The more you give, the more you get, so be brave and dare to explore!

Phyllis眼中的Hilda: 外表堅強硬朗，內裡溫柔體貼（尤見對某位莊友）一個思考型女仔，可由事件的表面第一層說起，剖析至第十層再返回第一層，可你一點也不會覺得沉悶，因她說得生動之餘，思考中的她樣子還格外可愛（至少對那某莊友而言;)）很好的聆聽者，熱衷寫作，相信文字的力量...... 總括來說，一位令你印象深刻的好友:) Phyllis’ impression on Hilda: Tough and independent on the outside, gentle and caring underneath. Loves to think and can think from different angles and perspectives, and is also eager to share her ideas. A good listener and writer who believes in the power of words. A good friend whom you’ll definitely treasure :)

Welfare Secretary Emily Wong BSocSc (II) Halooo freshmen!我係welfare sec Emily! 訂零食同出soc product係我最喜歡的莊務! 我有時好多野講，有時又會唔講野，不過我還是很喜歡認識新朋友的! Freshmen係咪好期待ocamp 好期待Year 1呢? 我都好期待有一班組仔女!!!期待認識你們!;)

福利秘書黃芷晴

Hello freshmen! I am welfare secretary, Emily. Ordering refreshment and society product are my favourite jong duties!

Hilda眼中的Emily: 和藹可親的MM令我一直都覺得她本身的存在就是我們莊裏最好的welfare！很 sweet的女孩，學野快(Photoshop進步神速)，做野有交帶，零食soc物搞掂曬！

Hilda’s impression on Emily: MM (that’s how we call her) is the sweetest girl you could find here! Gentle and cheerful, I always think she is the best welfare you could find in SSS (no kidding). I’m sure you’d all love to stick around with such a nice and cheerful girl like all of us do!

Social Secretary Rita Chan BSocSc (II) Hi Freshmen!! 我係三蛇social sec Rita. 上莊原因及目標為提高會員對三蛇的歸屬感及凝聚會員。希望有機會一一認識各位新加入三蛇的會員，請freshmen知道你有任何問題都可approach我們，三蛇為你們服務！

康樂秘書陳惠茹

Hi, I am Social Secretary Rita. My aim is to raise the sense of belonging of the members to the society.

Ronnie眼中的Rita: 在我眼中, Rita好像一隻公仔, 是熊啤啤的近親xdd 佢經常處於一個很冷靜的狀態, 表情也不多, 但當你觸發她的不知明神經 (例如陪她飲啤酒 lol), 便會看到她大笑的表情! 外冷內熱的可人兒, 跟她交朋友吧!

Ronnie’s impression to Rita: To me, Rita is a doll-like little girl (a close relative of teddy bear) *v*so cute! She is usually calm, stable and mono-face…however she is very sensitive to something unknown (try drinking beer with her!) that will bring her endless and crazy laughter!!!!! Be friends with both the inner & outer cute Rita! ^^

活動簡介 Past Events 在你們未進大學之前,三蛇到底做過甚麼呢？現在就向各位介紹一下吧！三蛇的活動主要可以分為兩大範疇 — 內務和外務，同時亦會出版刊物。 So what have we done in this year before you guys get in? Let’s see!

內務內務的主要目的是為會員提供福利及提高會員歸屬感，同時院務亦包括在內，三蛇希望作為同學及學院之間的橋樑，讓同學能在院長論壇與院長直接對話，及於主修講座中認識學院及部門的資料。在四月我們舉辦了勁過節替準備考試的同學打氣。勁過活動為港大各學會的傳統，很多學會都會在sem尾時段有勁過飯寫勁過揮春等活動，三蛇除了這些之外，還在開心公園舉行了舞獅表演和勁過祈願板，讓同學開心勁過！接下來我們還會舉辦更多聯誼活動，二手書買賣，院長論壇，還有於福利週會員能領取我們準備的限量福利包，萬萬不能錯過!

Internal affairs

Internal activities of SSS aim at promoting cohesion and comradeship among members, as well as providing welfare to members. Faculty affairs is also an important issue we concern. SSS serves as a bridge between members and the faculty. Members can communicate with the dean in Dean’s forum, and get useful information from the Faculty and departments in our Major and Minor Talk. Superpass Festival is held at the end of an academic year to motivate members to better prepare for the examination. Although superpass activities are common among different student societies, superpass festival of SSS is the only society that has the tradition of lion dancing in happy park. In the coming semester, we would organize Dean’s forum, second hand book sale and more social functions. Also, do not miss our Welfare Week, which members can get themselves a welfare pack!

外務Ａ問：「咩係外務活動？」Ｂ答：「同外間團體一齊搞活動囉！」Ａ回：「部份正確啦！」究竟三蛇的外務活動是怎樣的？三蛇的外務特色是關心及參與時事，我們期望同學對社會事務有一顆同理心。所以三蛇以往的活動都圍繞著時事，例如舉辦論壇及邀請政黨成員發表對社會議題的看法。過去這年，我們特別關心「中港矛盾」這個議題，同時就梁振英當選新任特首我們也舉辦了論壇討論。除了論壇，三蛇亦會出版喧紙（NOISE），是我們親筆撰寫的社評，希望透過分享我們對時事的看法，引起同學的思考和討論。我們亦有參與六四集會和七一遊行，身體力行去參與社會事務，表達我們的想法。接下來的日子，三蛇會繼續就社會議題發聲！你們要多多支持呀！

External affairs

What is external functions? Um.. activities with parties outside SSS or even HKU? Partly correct, Let me tell you what SSS-styled external functions are! ^^ SSS’s external functions are featured by current affairs. We aim to raise students’ awareness towards local and global issues. More, we hope to motivate them to participate in social affairs. Hence, SSS has been organizing functions like forums inviting politicians discussing or even debating on some pressing social issues. In our session, we particularly concern the conflicting relationship between Hongkongers and Mainlanders which had been the topic of the Social Sciences Festival. We also held forums about CY Leung elected as Hong Kong’s new CE! Besides forum, SSS issues one-page publications, NOISE which is the commentary wrote by Ex-co. We hope our stance and views would bring insights and lead to further discussion among students. In the rest of our session, SSS will keep voice out for various social issues! We are looking forward to your support!

刊物我們學會亦有出版不同刊物，除了你手上這本迎新特刊 Snakers外，我們於社科界就中港矛盾的議題出版了社科節特刊，亦有學會的傳統出版VOICE《號刊》，同學可在會房索取和在網上翻閱！

Publications

Our society also produce publications for our members. Beside of this snakers, which is an orientation booklet for freshman, we had also produced a publication for external affairs for the Social Sciences Festival, as well as VOICE, which is a traditional publication of SSS for members’ leisure reading. You could get a copy of all of these at our society room and also read them online!

讀書啦喂！在悠長暑假和迎新活動之後，準備搏盡讀書了！但是…… “我想Major XXX呀，到底要讀甚麼？” “甚麼是common core?” “聽說可以報讀其他faculty的electives呢，真的嗎？” 遇到這些問題，是不是感到很迷惘呢？讓三蛇向大家簡介一下吧！簡單來說，每個同學在第一年需要修讀的課程可分為三類：主科/必修科，Common Core 和 Language Course，而在完成必須修讀的科目外，有些同學也會從其他學院選修自己感興趣的科目為electives。每個學士學位都有自己的必修科目和注意事項，所以新鮮人們一定要記得向學院或有關部門問清楚，有甚麼不明白也可以找current或三蛇的幹事詢問啊! 另外，大部分科目的評估都以報告、論文及期終考試為主，功課數量不多但分量十足，同學切記要好好分配時間，保持功課和溫習進度，不然就成為死綫烈士…… Basically, you will have to take three kinds of courses in Year 1: Faculty-required courses, Common Core courses and Language courses. Besides, students may also enroll electives offered by other faculties. Different curriculum and different majors and minors have different requirement, therefore you should pay attention to them and you may consult Faculty or the respective departments for more details. Of course, you may also seek help from the seniors or ex-cos!

A.主科/必修科（以下內容以2011-2012學年為參考，2012-2013的三年制及四年制或有更改，敬請留意）

BSocSc 的一年級生需要從五個系科裏選擇最少三個不同部門的入門課程(Introductory Course)。同學亦要在Year 2選擇主修，有些主修的進階課程(Advanced Course)要求你修讀過某些入門課程才可選修，所以新生需要留意自己心儀的主修的課程要求。 Government & Laws 的一年級生需完成 POLI1002 和 POLI1003，一個非政政學系的Introductory course,還有一些指定的法律科目(多為LLAW和PHIL的course)。 Social Work 的一年級生需完成 SOWK1002, SOWK1004, SOWK1007, SOWK1008, PSYC1001 及SOCI1001 或 SOCI1003。 Journalism 的一年級生需完成 JMSC0101, JMSC0103, JMSC0104, JMSC0107, 另外亦要從學院裏選修second major，所以也要留意其它introductory course。 BEd & BSocSc 為四年制新增課程，目前還沒有詳細課程內容，不過同學的課程要求將會有從教育學院及社科學院提供的各項課目，記得要多留意學院資訊！

A. Faculty-required courses

(The below information are based on the regulation of 2011-2012 academic year. Changes may be made for students admitted in 2012-2013)

Different curricula have different requirement for first year undergraduates. For BSocSc students, you have to take introductory courses from at least 3 different departments under the Faculty. For BSocSc(GL) students, you have to take POLI1002, POLI1003, an introductory course outside the department of PPA and some law courses (Mostly LLAW or PHIL courses). For BSW students, you have to finish SOWK1002, SOWK1004, SOWK1007, SOWK1008, PSYC1001 and SOCI1001 or SOCI1003. BJ students have to take JMSC0101, JMSC0103, JMSC0104, JMSC0107 in first year study. As BJ students are also required to choose a second major under the Faculty, you are encouraged to pay attention to the introductory courses. For BEd & BSocSc students, the details of the curriculum requirement are yet to be confirmed, but you could expect you are going to take courses offered by the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Social Sciences, so stay tuned in!

以下為五個學系提供的一些Introductory course的簡介： Below are some brief introductions of the introductory courses offered by the five departments:

GEOGRAPHY 地理學系 GEOG1016 Nature conservation for sustainable societies 此課程主要圍繞人類與環境的關係及可持續發展。你會認識到人類過度的開採及使用資源對水資源、泥土、林木、漁類及生態等作出的種種深遠影響，以及可持續發展的重要性和方法。 This course reviews the major issues related to human-nature interactions, their current status as well as the projection of the future. The use and misuse of major natural resources by human societies such as water, soil, forest, fishery and biodiversity, and the possibility for a sustainable future are discussed.

讀書啦喂！ POLITICS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 政治與公共行政學系 POLI1003 Making sense of Politics

這是主修政治的必修科。本科主要介紹政治學基本概念，令同學對政治有更多認識。無論你對民主、政治體制、國家立憲等議題深感興趣還是一竅不通，這科都會讓你對政治有多點認識。

This is a pre-requisite for majoring in PPA. It mainly introduces some basic concepts about politics such as legitimacy and different political systems. Through current affairs and some famous political issue, student may also have clearer knowledge in some political issues.

POLI1002 Fundamentals of Public Administration

PSYC1004 Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Psychology

這也是主修心理學的必修科，不少主修心理學的同學都對要上數學堂感到無奈。課程介紹基本統計學概念，由於心理學主張實驗論證，所以認識數據分析和調查設計是必須的，數學底子較差的同學要有所準備啦。

This course is a pre-requisite for students majoring in Psychology. It introduces the analytical aspects of research techniques in psychology such as research design and data analysis. Since it involves some knowledge on mathematics and statistics, students who are weak in math should pay more attention to it.

B. Common Core

Common Core 是有點像通識的課程，內容包羅萬有，這些課程可以讓同學修讀非社科專題，開闊自己的眼界。四年制的同學需要在其中選修6個課程，而三年制的同學需要在一年級選修2個課程。雖然這些課程有許多好grade、爛grade的說法，但很多時候會因為講師或評核制度的變化而有所不同，所以同學還是可以以興趣優先的。 Common Core is similar to liberal studies with various courses of different domains. Students from 4-year-curriculum should take 6 courses in 4 years while students from 3-year-curriculum need to take 2 courses in year 1. Although some courses are claimed to be easier to get good marks, these rumor might not be true since every year the grading system might have slight modification. Therefore, students couldconsider choosing courses according to your interests.

C. Language Course

除了以上科目，大學亦要求同學修讀中英文科，其中 CAES1901 為所有一年級的必修英文科，此課程會介紹一些學術寫作及朗讀技巧，例如在論文中引述參考文獻，據說這些技巧將有助於同學寫論文和小組簡報。CSSC1001為一年級必修中文科，此課程希望提升同學的中文應用能力，課程有簡繁體轉換、錯別字辨別、句子運用及實用文書寫等趣味內容。 Students are also required to take language courses. For instance, CAES1901 is a compulsory course for all. The tutors will introduce students to different features of speaking and writing in an academic context. You will also learn how to cite reference in an essay. You are also required to take credit bearing Cantonese or Putonghua courses offered by the School of Chinese if you are a non-local student.

讀書啦喂！三年制的新鮮人（四年制的你不要偷看！）：說到GPA、派HON，對你來說好像很遙遠吧？千萬不要這樣想！了解這些資料對你安排學習時間，揀Course等都很重要，當然還有的是，朋友說起這些時還能搭上兩嘴呢！（別忘了還有爸媽那關......）

Honour classification（派HON）以往派Hon是拉Curve（常模參照）的，會得到甚麼Honour就要視乎同屆同學的表現，但現在的制度改變了！計Honour方法將使用水平參照，同學的Honour會根據你個人的GPA而定，只要你達到指定的GPA，便能取得相應的Honour。這比起以往究竟會不會較容易取得First Hon呢？無人得知，新人們，搏盡！

兩種Transcript（成績單） 1. 所有讀過的course將以時序(Chronological Order) 排列，列出每個課程的成績，最後寫出你的Major、cGPA和你的Honour，這是一直以來沿用的模式。 2. 所有讀過的course將以Major、Minor/ Electives及Language排列，最後列出你所得的Honour，並附上所佔的學生比率，讓你或是你的僱主能更清楚你在每個範疇的表現。

To freshmen of the three-year-curriculum: Perhaps you will think that the GPA and honour classification is way too far from present, yet knowing them is very important for your academic planning!

Honour classification

Standard-referenced honour classification system will be used. The previous system for the honour classification was norm-reference tested, meaning you will have to compete with your classmates in order to get a first honour. Under the new system, you will receive a particular honour once you reach the required GPA.

Transcript

There will be two kinds of transcripts: 1. Chronological order: All the courses that you had taken will be shown in the transcript according to chronological order, with your Major, cGPA and honour at the end. 2. Categorized (NEW!): All the courses that you had taken will be arranged according to your major, minor/electives and Language. In addition, your honour and its percentage will be listed out, so you and your employer can know more about your academic ability.

給第一批四年制的新鮮人：恭喜你成為香港大學第一批四年制的學生！準備好了解更多為你們而設的學制資訊嗎？那就不要錯過這部分了！隨著新學制的來臨，校方就着派Hon的問題進行了一連串的調查和諮詢，最終進行了一次「大改革」，詳情如下：

派Honour計算比例為1:1:1:1 在現時的制度下，學生能選擇其他學院的學科作主修，然而每個學院的honour計算比例方法不同，因此可能出現同cGPA不同honour的後果。因此，校方將各個學院的honour計算比例統一化，轉為1:1:1:1。聽起來很失望吧？「第一年可以玩到盡」的說法或許從此要改變，但別忘了一年級的課程比較容易，亦不難取得較高的Grade，或許比例的改變能令大家舒解一下往後的「苦况」？

水平參照的Honour classification 以往派Hon是拉Curve（常模參照）的，會得到甚麼Honour就要視乎同屆同學的表現，但現在的制度改變了！計Honour方法將使用水平參照，同學的Honour會根據你個人的cGPA而定，只要你達到指定的cGPA，便能取得相應的Honour。這比起以往究竟會不會較容易取得 First Hon呢？無人得知，新人們，搏盡！

Transcript（成績單）- 分類列出各項成績所有讀過的course將以Major、Minor/Electives、Language及Common Core排列，最後列出你所得的Honour，附上所佔的學生比率，讓你和你的僱主能更清楚你在每個範疇的表現。

To freshmen of the four-year-curriculum: As the first batch of four-year-curriculum students, there are certain changes in the system that you must know! Over the years The University has been analyzing and consulting issues concerned with honour classification, and great changes had been made for the new curriculum:

Ratio of 1:1:1:1 for calculating honour

Under the current system, students can take a second major from other faculties. However, the honour calculating method varies across different faculties and had been confusing. Therefore, The University standardized the honour calculating system of all faculties to 1:1:1:1.

Standard-referenced honour classification system

The previous system for the honour classification was norm-reference tested, so you have to compete with your classmates in order to get a first honour. Under the new system, you will receive the honour once you reached the required cGPA.

Transcript- Newly-categorized transcript

All the course that you had taken will be categorized into Major, Minor/Electives, Language and Common Core (instead of listed according to the chronological order). The new system allows you and your employers know more about your academic ability.

大學五件事 The 5 “Must-Do” in U

“大學五件事你打算做幾多樣呀？”這很有機會是在開學令你最一頭霧水的話。所謂的大學五件事就是讀書，住Hall，上莊，出Pool及做兼職。大學的生活既自由又有很多選擇，可惜時間匆匆，所以大家多以這五個大學特有的經歷作指標，為這幾年付出做一個衡量：“ 佢五件事都做曬，好勁”，“你無住Hall又無上莊？那會好無聊啊！”，“大學五件事？哦，上莊，住Hall，出Pool，兼職，仲有……呃……” 一年過去，去年的新鮮人到底怎麽看這“大學五件事”呢？聽聽我們怎麽想吧！ What is the 5 “must-do” in U and what’s so special about it? Here in HKU, we mention it quite often and it basically means the five things that most students here are experiencing: studying, living in hall, being an exco, “out pool” (dating) and doing part time. Many would consider these as something that HKU students should definitely try, while some couldn’t care less about it. Let’s see how the freshman from last year (yep, that’s us) think about them!

讀書斯Studying Jessie

有人覺得上到大學就像入場卷到手，三年後拿張沙紙走人就算；有人入到大學依然像考公開試一樣爆GPA追hon;有人揀course為好grade為輕鬆為靚仔靚女professor。如無意外，餘下三四年會是你最後的全職學生生涯，何不認認真真讀下書？不是叫你做書蟲，只是想你每次出試場都無悔，會覺得讀完個course真心學到野。可能好多師兄師姐對你說邊個 course好grade俾埋sources你抄，但若然你對個course有興趣，自然就讀得開心唔走堂起勁做功課，就算是killer course都可以拿好grade。 Some people will abandon their study because they have already guaranteed a degree. Some people still rank this as a high priority and would strike SO hard for GPA. No matter which way you choose, follow your heart and believe in yourself. Don’t follow the norm blindly. Hope you won’t regret after the 3 or 4 years study!

Hilda

很坦白，我lecture走不少，功課很底綫，“Due tomorrow Do tomorrow” 是格言，但我知道我比很多人都更努力讀書。香港教育教出來的“精英”多是頂尖考試機器，他們沒有學習的動力，只懂為成績盲忙，發瘋，崩潰。我雖然立志求學問，但在到處跑跑跳跳之後，我實在無法再做分數奴隸，所以我選擇以自己的方法讀我的書，看我的世界。二十嵗不到的你還有青春，何不試一次認真求學問，找回自己的興趣，讀自己真正喜歡的課，記起那個為學習快樂，而不是為A高興的你。 In here you may experience lots of re-definition: the thing you used to think you were good at or the way you coped with your study might not do you as much good now. Yet don’t worry- afterall, you are still a student and there’s nothing shameful about failures: what’s important is you could really learn from it.

住HALL Living in hall Ron 香港大學的Hall叫舍堂，而舍堂教育是香港大學的特色之一。香港大學有十三間舍堂，各有不同文化。透過舍堂內各式各樣的活動，你可以認識到不同學科的朋友，找到life long friends，也能夠參與舍堂間的比賽，為自己舍堂出一分力。大學有很多選擇，同學要學懂如何分配時間，享受宿舍生活，學到更多得到更多。建議同學可以多參與不同hall的touch camp，選擇適合自己的hall。 Hall education is one of the distinctive characteristics of HKU. There are 13 halls in HKU with different cultures. While living in a hall, you could meet and make many friends from different backgrounds and establish life-long friendship. You could also participate in different activities and inter-hall competition. There are many things for you to experience in your university life, and having good time management will make you gain more from your hall life. You might want to join the touch camps of different halls and choose the one you found suitable for you.

Henry “舍堂裏講求的是付出、承擔、搏盡，透過各項舍堂活動，能夠與一班堂友同甘共苦，訓練出團體精神，更重要的是你能從中學懂自我要求，並將自己訓練成理想的大學生。” “舍堂裏，我們給予堂友自由選擇：我們相信每個人有自己的路，有自己的選擇，這樣子才能在這裡活得開心，活得快樂，享受舍堂一家親的生活。” 在港大，舍堂各有特色，各有自己的文化，究竟要選那一種？各位新鮮人在選hall前，都盡量多多了解吧。如果你只想找個宿位，不喜歡任何舍堂活動的話，亦可以試試龍華街的學生宿舍(Residential College)，是最新的宿舍呢！ There are 13 residential halls in HKU and each of them has its unique culture and characteristics. Freshmen should try to know more about halls before choosing them. If you only want a place without any student activities, you may try the new Lung Wah Street Residential Colleges!

上莊 being an exco Ronnie 上莊：擔任學會的幹事，服務會員，需花時間和心力去舉辦活動。有乜唔好？燃燒 GPA :( 要舉辦活動自然失去了時間讀書，浪費時間…… 不過！事實上大學讀書佔的時間實在是由你控制，由你決定。說到底，大學生活最講究時間管理，上莊反而能讓你學習multi-tasking! 有乜好？好玩？開心？不只這樣。上莊是一個很好的機會讓你在大學生活裏做些有意義的事，發揮小宇宙！仲可以識到一班莊友，做「莊務一年，莊友一世」！ “Seung Jong”: Being the executive committee of a student society. In here, you would spend lots of effort and time on organizing functions. Disadvantages? Threatens GPA :( Spending time on organizing activities means less time for studying… But is that true? In fact, studying in University does not necessary requires a lot of your time. What matters most is time management and multi-tasking skills which are something you may learn through the challenging “Seung Jong”!!! Advantages? Play and joy… and more! “Seung Jong” is a great chance for you to accomplish something meaningful and show your talents! And you will receive a valuable gift- “jong yaus”, other executive committee who would work with you throughout the year. Be comrades for one year, and become friends for the rest of your life!

Siuson 上莊，比一般中學搞club複雜一點，多了些體制，多了些傳統，也多了自由。同時又比辦公室輕鬆簡單一點，少些官僚，少些競爭，也多了嘻哈。這裡曾有人開心，有人團結起來，有人藉此找伴侶；卻也有人鬧翻，有人孤軍作戰，有人被遺棄；有跌倒，有扶起；有幫忙，有幫倒忙；有感動，有失望。上莊可以學會做憾動人心的事，認識到一生摯友，一起團結作戰，使人終生受用；也有人會盡做無謂的事，磨蝕當初理想，失去互信，後悔當初。是英雄塚也是搖籃，是因緣際遇，也可以是一場賭博。遊戲人生，不過如此。 Being an executive committee is more than operating a society or holding functions. You may work with your “jong yaus” from day to night, know each other’s strength and weakness, and argue for the tiniest stuff. Some may find valuable work experiences and lifetime friends while some may find nothing but meaninglessness and emptiness. At the end, all of them are just a process if your fruitful life, if you would treasure what you have.

Jessie 男未婚女未嫁，入到大學識下男仔識下女仔拍下拖好正常，但切忌人有我有或亂咁flirt 人，呢個世界好細，隨時醜事傳千里！有人揀另一半有好多條件，要唔同校要高要靚要瘦要有D肉地要有特別技能，但大前提係你自己嘅條件又如何？出pool其實唔洗急，好好裝備自已，真愛一定等緊你既。 PS 其實唔出pool都幾好架，至少唔洗請食出pool飯 :) “唔係有心就唔好追佢你諗下佢流嘅眼淚傷害佢將來佢唔再相信愛你仲點過意得去” —Ｃ君《偉大航道》

Be brave and date your crush! But take it seriously and don’t hurt anyone.

Hilda 剛上大學時,我苦苦思量也無法理解為甚麽“出pool”會是大學五件事之一。大概因為我們從小被教導“中學生不應談戀愛”嘛，所以上到大學這青春的地方總要試一次，是吧？然後，你很可能發現這是五件事裏最令你哭得死去活來的東西。大學匆匆幾年，身邊多少人來來去去，卻唯獨和你“出pool”的最難預測，可以是hall mate可以是莊友甚至是校外人，可以和你有一霎激情，也可能共你相廝守。不用以“出到 pool”為目標，單戀暗戀熱戀苦戀失戀，只要你會吃人間煙火總會遇得上，甚麽“努力出 pool”的，是別人騙飯吃的起哄罷了（笑）。大學生談戀愛，好像要比中學生成熟點，又比在社會打滾的人單純點。既然如此，大家不妨謙虛一點，好好學習甚麽才是愛。 Back then when I was a freshman like you, I couldn’t understand why “out pool” would be considered as a “must-do” in university. I knew being in love is awesome but I just couldn’t see why everyone’s so crazy about that. Yet if you ask me now, I would tell you this is probably the only thing that’s worth you thousands of tears in your university life. Even if you are not getting a perfect relationship, chances are love is still somewhere around- whether it’s a secret crush, awkward dates, bitter-sweet love, or even a heart-breaking break up. Everyone has his own unique love stories to tell (and learn not to judge others), but if there is something everyone could agree on, it would be that this is a lesson we will all need to learn it with our heart.

兼職 doing part-time

Ronnie 要數到最受大學生歡迎的兼職，大概就是補習了！補習有高薪回報，時薪百幾二百蚊，而且彈性高，是大學生爭住搵的兼職！不過在此小小建議：經HKU CEDARS 搵補習比坊間補習中介好，因為不會收介紹費！搵坊間中介會收數堂學費為介紹費，就算搵到補習，都賺少左啦！除此之外，HKU CEDARS 亦會提供很多其他兼職資訊，同學可以多加留意！ Private tutoring brings you high returns like $100-200 per hour, and it’s a job of high flexibility. So, private tutoring has been a very popular part-time job among uni students. Just a little advice: Prefer searching students through HKU CEDARS rather than agents. CEDARS will find student for free while agents will charge and you will earn less! Moreover, CEDARS also provide lots of different part-time information, so check it out frequently!

學生並非衡量你大然，這五件事當！了完紹於介多，或大學五件事終從中得到了很我們很多人都但，標指一唯越多，無論活精彩與否的出越多，收穫付。憶回的也，或是難忘生活，如果你是寶貴的知識世界更精彩的面外在是還件事，楚咯！是在校內的五就要好好想清活過無悔，那生學大的你希望讓才搏盡 ;)

第六件事... the 6th “must-do”...

聰明的你知道人生又豈只五件事？不少人告訴我，停下來回看才發現搏盡了五件事，到頭來卻失去更多。我們的第六事又是甚麼呢？不如你也好好想一想，記一記，別要之後遺忘了... It’s obvious that your U life is much more that the 5 “must do”. What is your “must do” in your mind? How would you set your priorities? Do think aboout it!

買手提電腦 (九月) 進了大學後，用手提電腦上課、做功課、present就少不了。同學可以在學校以大學生優惠價購買手提電腦，這樣就方便不少了。

Purchase Notebook (September)

You can buy a notebook at discounted price for university students. It is much more convenient for you to take notes in lectures, do assignments and make presentations.

申請Grant Loan (九月) 申請Grant Loan 需填妥申請表和提交相關文件，手續繁複，所以交去 CEDARS前要準備好所有文件，以免因要補交文件而延長處理時間。
