There is no public elective course on the printed report card when graduation. It's all compulsory courses or something. If a public elective course requires an overall GPA, it means that there is no GPA for this course after failing. Students can choose several other courses to make up for their GPA.

Public elective courses are free of charge in the whole school, usually starting at the end of a semester or the first week of school. Different from specialized courses, public elective courses are optional. Elective courses in each university are different, some are more and some are less.

Influence of failing classes

Failing a course will directly affect college students' performance ranking, making them miss scholarships, grants, running for class cadres, joining the party, protecting research, recommending jobs, studying abroad and so on.

Failing the course will also cause great psychological harm to college students, such as shame, fear, pain and self-abandonment. Most college students know that failing in winter and summer vacations after the final exam will make them physically and mentally tortured for a long time.
