崔曙光院长致理工学院学生及家长们的一封信

亲爱的同学们、家长们：

你们好！在此，我代表理工学院的全体同仁向你们致以最亲切的问候！

鉴于新型冠状病毒疫情的升级，学生和员工的安全始终是我们考虑的重中之重。校方近期决定将2019-20学年第二学期的复课时间从2月10日暂时推迟至2月24日。此外，大学宣布从2月17日起所有课程开始转为网上教学；理工学院目前所有的本科和研究生课程（除实验课）也将在恢复校园开课之前全部转入网上教学模式。我们想借此机会送来我们的问候，以及就您最关心的学业问题介绍一下更详细的安排和这段过渡期我们将提供的支持。

在线教学

在线课程将遵循先前采用的第2学期课程表。有关如何安装和使用线上教学系统的说明，请参阅经微信群发送的名为“学生在线教学系统用户手册”的文件和教务处的官方电子邮件。

学习型社群

在此期间，我们鼓励学生与课程导师和助教保持密切联系，并在需要时向他们寻求学术支持。此外，我们也建议同学之间组成学习小组/学习社群来互通有无，互相支持，共渡难关。

其他支持

学生或家长可以通过微信群或发电子邮件至我们的官方学校办公室邮箱寻求其他支持。

在这一刻，我想敦促我们的学生要坚强和勇敢地面对目前的形势。在准备远程在线学习的同时，为即将到来的课程内容做好充分的准备。我也要鼓励你们多花时间休息并珍惜与家人在一起的美好时光。我们希望在疫情得到控制之后早日在校园迎接你们。祝大家健康！请保持联系！

致礼，

理工学院代理院长

Dear Students and Parents,

On behalf of all faculty and staff of the School of Science and Engineering (SSE), I would like to extend our sincere greetings to you and your beloved families!

As the safety of our students and colleagues is always our top priority, in view of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, the University has recently decided to postpone the resumption of Term 2, AY 2019-20 classes tentatively to February 24th, which was originally planned on February 10th. Meanwhile, following the University’s announcement to kick start the online teaching effectively from February 17th, all current SSE undergraduate and postgraduate classes (except for experiment-based sessions) will be shifted to online teaching and learning mode before the physical classes are resumed on campus. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our regards and inform you the more detailed arrangement, as well as the available support to make this interim period running smoothly.

Online Teaching and Learning

Online classes will follow the same previously adopted schedule for Term 2. For instructions on how to install and use the system, please refer to the “CUHK-Shenzhen Online Teaching and Learning System User Manual (Students)” file sent via WeChat groups and the official email from the Registry.

Learning Communities

We encourage you to keep in close contact with your course instructors and teaching assistants during this period and turn to them for academic support at the time of need. Also, forming study groups/learning communities with your classmates will keep you supported and updated with what is happening.

Other Support

You may write to the School Office for support via the WeChat groups or our official email accounts.

At this moment, I want to urge our students to be strong and courageous. While learning to set up the online system through remote connections, please be fully prepared and committed to the upcoming course contents and assessment. Meanwhile, I also want to encourage you to treasure the time you could spend with your loved ones at home. We wish we could welcome you back soon on campus when the healthy issue is resolved. Stay healthy and stay connected!

Sincerely,

Professor Shuguang Cui

Acting Dean
