Taking Nanjing University as an example, the proportion of compulsory course scores to the total score is determined by the starting unit according to the nature of the courses offered. Usually grades (including mid-term exams) account for 20-30% of the total evaluation results, and final exam scores account for 70-80% of the total evaluation results.
The evaluation of usual grades can take many forms, such as classroom questioning, quizzes, writing experimental reports, etc. The general evaluation score of elective courses may not include the usual and mid-term scores. The examination scores should be properly grasped realistically, mainly according to the predetermined requirements of the syllabus and answer sheet, to measure students' understanding, mastery and comprehensive application of the content of this course.
Because the assessment methods of universities are different from those of middle schools, the learning status of college students has declined compared with that of high schools, so it is normal for college students to fail courses. Some people even joked: "A university without failing courses is not a complete university." Having said that, the impact of failing courses on college students should not be underestimated.
1. The most serious impact of failing the course is that college students may not be able to graduate without a degree certificate and diploma. Generally, colleges and universities have set credit requirements for students, and students can only get their degree certificates and graduate smoothly after completing the corresponding number.
Credits are calculated according to students' test scores, that is, if a subject passes the exam, it will get corresponding credits; If you fail (that is, fail the course), there will be no credit, and you need to retake or make up the exam next time.
If you fail too many courses and fail to retake the exam, students will be retaken or dismissed from school because of insufficient credits. Conversely, students will face the above-mentioned danger of not having a degree certificate or not graduating. This is tantamount to saying that the university has gone to school for nothing, and it is definitely not worth the loss.
