Therefore, the scientific requirements of teaching plans and curricula are also getting higher and higher. In the curriculum, how to implement the credit system, how to divide the curriculum into compulsory and elective courses, is an important issue. Our school conducted some preliminary experiments in the credit system and elective courses. After practice, we think this is a systematic project. To be able to carry out it smoothly, we must have some external environmental conditions, such as the revision of the rules governing student status, and the improvement and modification of the evaluation system of academic achievements. First, to learn advanced methods and patterns of curriculum to form a
