How to calculate college credits?
Credit is a unit of measurement used to calculate students' learning volume. Calculated by semester, the specific academic achievements of each course and practice link shall be subject to the provisions of the professional teaching plan. Some schools also have a system of charging by credit. University credit system Every course in a university has certain credits. Only by passing the exam of this course can you get the corresponding credits. You can't graduate until the credits have accumulated to the professional requirements. If you complete the required courses and credits ahead of time, you can also graduate ahead of time. The credit system is a more flexible and flexible academic system, which creates more flexibility for students during their stay in school, including applying for suspension from school and starting a business within a period of time, and encouraging students with spare capacity to graduate ahead of schedule, minor in other majors and pursue other degrees. Some universities require students to complete the minimum academic performance of compulsory courses and elective courses specified in the professional teaching plan during their stay in school, and they must complete it every semester. If they don't, they will get a performance warning. The general calculation method of minimum credits per semester is: minimum credits per semester = total credits /2× (standard academic system +2). At the same time, the credits taken in each semester shall generally not exceed the maximum credits stipulated in the professional teaching plan. If there is over-election after examination and approval, the over-election fee will be charged according to relevant regulations. The general calculation method of maximum credits per semester is: maximum credits per semester = total credits /2× (standard academic system-1) 1. What are credits? Credit is a unit of points obtained by successfully completing a course, which is used to indicate the amount of learning required for students to obtain certificates, diplomas or reach a certain level. ? Different countries have different regulations on the learning amount of credit representatives. For example, in some States in the United States, credits are generally calculated in Carnegie units, and each unit represents at least 1 20 hours of classroom teaching in the school year. Canada can get 1 credit for successfully completing the minimum10 class hours, and 1/2 credit for completing the minimum 55 class hours. According to the new senior high school curriculum standards of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Sports of Japan, 1 class hour or a class is 50 minutes, and 35 class hours of teaching is 1 credit. ? 2. What is the credit system? The credit system is a curriculum management system that calculates students' learning volume in units of credits and takes the completion of the prescribed lower limit credits as the basic condition for students to obtain graduation qualifications. It records the growth experience and development degree of students in the corresponding curriculum field through credits in the form of quantitative scores. ? 3. What is the academic year system? Academic year system is the abbreviation of academic year system, that is, students must complete the prescribed academic year, complete the prescribed subjects and hours in each academic year, and pass the examination to meet the prescribed standards before they can graduate and issue certificates. At present, China's ordinary high schools implement the academic year system. Compared with the credit system, the academic year system is a rigid curriculum management system. ? 4. What is the academic year credit system? ? The academic year credit system is a combination of academic year system and credit system, and it is a form of transition from academic year system to credit system. The academic year credit system basically retains the three-year study period of ordinary high schools, but the curriculum has compulsory courses and elective courses to measure the amount of study completed by students in the specified academic year. ? 5. What is the flexible academic system? ? Many countries usually combine flexible academic system when measuring students' learning volume with credits. That is, credit statistics break the academic year boundary, and the whole (such as undergraduate, junior college and senior high school) calculates the credits of students' study. Allow students to graduate early or late within the specified number of years. As a result, there is no grade in high school, only a few years away. ? Flexible academic system provides students with greater freedom of study and takes care of students with different learning needs. However, considering that many ordinary middle schools in China are large in scale, with large classes and lack of rich experience. Therefore, on a large scale, most schools can only try out the academic year credit system. Of course, a small number of schools across the country have conducted experiments on flexible academic system, and it is suggested that qualified schools can conduct experiments and constantly sum up experience. ? 6. How to calculate the academic performance of the course? ? Each credit is equivalent to one class hour (40-45) minutes of classroom study per semester, and it meets the specified quality requirements. In terms of class hours alone, 1 credit = 18 class hours. ? 7. Who will identify the credits? ? The school is the main authority for the credit recognition of senior high school students. According to the idea of three-level curriculum management, courses can be divided into academic and non-academic categories, and different courses are determined by different disciplines, as shown in the following table. Table 1 Subject and basis of credit determination? Academic courses, non-academic courses? School-based curriculum for comprehensive practical activities of language and literature, mathematics, foreign languages, humanities and society, science and technology, art, sports and health? Community service and social practice of research-based learning? The subjects and basis for credit recognition are determined by the school or teachers according to the unified test scores outside the school or the school test scores or the national curriculum standards, by the school or teachers according to the national curriculum standards or guidelines, by the institutions or responsible persons inside and outside the school according to the relevant regulations of the school, and by the teachers according to the relevant regulations of the school? Remarks: Non-academic courses are temporarily arranged in the technical field. ? 8. Is there any limit to the academic performance of each semester? ? For the academic year credit system, the upper and lower limits of students' academic performance in each semester are stipulated. Students can choose more courses, less courses and avoid taking some courses according to the school curriculum plan and the advice of the course selection instructor, according to a certain course selection order and within the credit range specified in each semester.
