Capstone Course Arrangements 2015-16

Date Posted: 
3 August, 2015
  1. In order to graduate in the summer of 2016, you must have completed, as your capstone course, either MATH4900 (Seminar) or MATH4400 (Project), but not both.
    Please note the following points:
    1. MATH4900 will be offered in the First Semester only. It is expected most of you will take this course.
      Delaying the course without appropriate justification may result in delay in graduation.
    2. A few students may want to take MATH4400. Such a student will need check whether he/she is qualified for taking this course. Refer to the CUSIS for the specific conditions.
    3. MATH4900, MATH4400 are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE: having taken either, you will be barred from taking the other.
  2. For students who have already passed both of MATH2050, 2060 and intend to take MATH4900:
    There are nine sections of MATH4900 in the First Semester 2015-16. Each has its own theme. The themes will be posted on the Department homepage and communicated to you via CWEM later this week.
    Registration for MATH4900 is to be done on CUSIS, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
  3. For students who have not yet completed both of MATH2050, 2060:
    In principle, you are not eligible to take either of the capstone courses.
    However, if you intend to graduate in the summer of 2016, you may make an application to the Department for a place in MATH4900 in the First Semester 2015-16. Please submit your application at the following page, from 11 August, 2015:
    http://www.math.cuhk.edu.hk/capstone-seminar
    Applications will be closed at Monday 1400hrs of the second week of the semester (14 September, 2015). Late applications will NOT be entertained.
    Successful applicants will be registered into MATH4900 by the Department during the add-drop period.
  4. For students who intend to take MATH4400 (Project) instead of MATH4900:
    You need not register for MATH4900 in CUSIS. It is your responsibility to look for a potential project supervisor yourself. You are advised to do so as soon as possible.
    The procedure of application will be posted on the Department homepage and communicated to you via CWEM in mid-late August.
