Lecture notes

Note 1

Note 2

A reminder about assignment 1 preparation

For Housing Imaginations (HI) assignment 1, students are recommended to use newspaper articles in English. If newspaper articles in Chinese have to be used, try to do more translation on their content. The reason is that overseas lecturers and external examiners very likely could only read in English. They would not be able to study your (HI) artifacts with lots of content in Chinese.
