What is this?
A community-curated collection of course materials for Peking University: past exams, slides, notes and course advice, organized by course and free to download. The title literally means 'an unofficial collection of course materials for your school'.

You can also attach files to an Issue or email [email protected] and maintainers will add them.

The goal is to turn hidden word-of-mouth resources into an open, shared collection so later students don't repeat the same detours.

The project positions itself purely as a collector of existing material whose rights remain with the original authors.
