Section 9
Electronic submission of assignments

The Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning decided that all student assignments in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes should be submitted via CUPIDE (the Chinese University Plagiarism IDentification Engine System) with effect from September 2008.  This applies to assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based (i.e.,excluding calculations in science, brief laboratory reports, drawings in fine arts and architecture, etc.) The CUPIDE system is developed by teachers in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, on behalf of the Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning. It will archive all papers (in English or Chinese) and check each submitted paper for possible plagiarism automatically, by comparing with web resources, previous term papers and term papers submitted in the current assignment. It will also generate alerts for the teacher involved and where appropriate also the relevant disciplinary committee(s).
