Failing a course is synonymous with failing or failing. Specifically, it means that one or more subjects fail the exam for various reasons and fail to meet the prescribed standards, which means that they need to retake or retake the exam.

"Failing" comes from the word "failing", which is very common in modern university campuses. If a subject fails, college students often say that a subject is "failed", and gradually the word "failed" came into being and spread from middle school to middle school. Several types of people who fail in class mainly focus on not going to class, going to class, and not practicing after listening.

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.

The most serious impact of failing the course is that college students may not be able to graduate without a degree certificate or 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.
