Main differences between elective courses and compulsory courses in universities
Selectivity: In universities, compulsory courses are directly stipulated by the school, and students must complete these courses. They can't choose compulsory courses by themselves, so they can only study according to the arrangement of the school. Elective courses are different. Elective courses are chosen by students according to their own interests, and they can choose the courses they want to study according to their own wishes.
Objective: Compulsory course is a part that students must study under the credit system. If they fail to complete their studies, they will not be able to obtain diplomas and degree certificates. Elective courses are used to broaden students' horizons, increase their knowledge and improve their comprehensive quality when the total credits are sufficient.
Teaching content: Compulsory courses usually involve professional basic knowledge and skills, which every student needs to master. Elective courses pay more attention to expanding students' knowledge and exposing them to more knowledge and skills.
