Every semester, the same questions echo through group chats — which course, which book, what was on the exam, how do you survive this one. We've been through them, and we believe the next year of students shouldn't have to rediscover it all alone. So we write it down, and we hand it forward.
Who we are
A community that shares what school doesn't
HITSZCS is an open, student-run collection of resources for computer science students at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. Course by course, we gather what we'd want handed to us before the semester started: organized notes, homeworks, tips, past exams and the lessons that usually only surface by luck. Knowledge is out there — it just shouldn't take a scavenger hunt to find it.
What lives here
Course by course, year by year
01Course guidesStructured by year — Freshman to Junior and beyond — so you know what's ahead before the first lecture.
02Materials that matterHomework references, lessons, tips, and textbook PDFs gathered from the whole community.
03Handed-down insightPast exams and advice passed from one generation of students to the next, without the gatekeeping.
04Your partAnyone can contribute. The guide only gets better when the students still in the seats add to it.
Standing rules
Things we won't bend
Free, forever. Public and open-source, accessible to every student — always.
Ethics over shortcuts. We respect intellectual property, and we stand against plagiarism in every form.
Less asymmetry. Information shouldn't flow only through closed groups and lucky connections.
Made by students. Built by the people taking the courses, for the people about to.
