Guidelines
-
​​Message Regarding Artificial Intelligence-Written Texts: The role of CSS consultants is to discuss with authors how to improve their own work. Generative AI tools can play a part in the exploratory, pre-writing stages of assignments. However, HKU expects students to take full ownership of and responsibility for their work, and to avoid plagiarism. This means you must produce the product of your assignments. Please acknowledge any use of generative AI output (directly copied or paraphrased/modified), in your work by highlighting it in yellow (for AI text), or acknowledging it in a caption (for AI images).
-
You must be an undergraduate or a UGC-funded postgraduate student.
-
Show your Student ID card when attending the session.
-
If you want to cancel your booked timeslot, log into https://caes.hku.hk/css and click “Cancel this booking” at least 24 hours before the consultation, otherwise you will be marked as “absent”. If you are absent from 2 CSS sessions in a semester, you will be banned from booking for the rest of the semester.
