zju-icicles is a community-maintained archive of course materials from Zhejiang University in China. The project's name and description are entirely in Chinese. The purpose is to collect and share resources that help students navigate the university's courses, particularly materials that are hard to find or have traditionally been passed down informally between students. The problem it addresses is that useful study resources, such as past exam papers, reference sheets, textbooks, and assignment solutions, are often only available through informal channels like group chats or word of mouth, which means each new generation of students has to hunt for them again from scratch. The repository organizes files by course into directories, with a README for each course providing context. Contributed materials include course selection guides, electronic textbooks and reference materials, homework answer sheets, past exam papers, review documents, and open-book exam cheat sheets. The project uses GitHub as its platform because the folder structure and pull request workflow make it easy to organize, review, and accept contributions from many students over time. The README is written in Chinese and notes that contributions of issues, pull requests, and corrections are all welcome. You would use this repository if you are a student at Zhejiang University looking for past exams, notes, or other study aids for a specific course. The content is shared under a Creative Commons non-commercial license, with individual file copyright belonging to their respective contributors. The primary file format used in the repository itself is HTML for rendering, though the actual study materials are documents, PDFs, and similar formats.
