In China's university education, "failing" means that students can't get credit for a certain course because they didn't reach the passing score in the exam or evaluation, and they need to take the exam again or study the course again to get credit.

If you fail in the final exam, you usually need to take the exam or make-up exam at the end of next semester to get credit, otherwise the course will not pass.

Failing the course will usually have a certain impact on students' studies, such as extending the academic system, affecting graduation and increasing the learning burden. Therefore, in the process of learning, students usually study hard and actively prepare for the exam to avoid failing the course.
