    Yes. Major electives must be chosen, but there is no specific requirement to choose which major electives to choose. The content of major elective courses is the course of the major, and when selecting courses, students should choose according to their own wishes.

    It can be divided into restricted electives and non-restricted electives. Restricted electives, also known as designated electives, are courses that students are required to take in a certain subject area or group of courses.

    Like our school, all designated elective courses must be taken, while other schools elective general education must take a certain number of credits, but we do not need to take some other major elective courses, according to some colleges, the credits of major elective courses can replace the major credits.

    Be sure to take it. The university has elective courses, and after entering the university, first of all, your major courses and compulsory courses, such as English and mathematics, etc., and then in the freshman year, the whole school electives and department electives will be selected, depending on what you are interested in or how many credits the school requires you to complete when you graduate.

    Today's universities have a credit system. For elective courses, the school has regulations. In the four years of college, you can only graduate in your senior year if you have completed enough elective credits required by the school.

    Otherwise, even if you have completed all the required credits, quality credits, and innovation credits, you will still not be able to graduate if you are not satisfied with the elective credits. Therefore, in order to be able to graduate successfully in the senior year, it is still necessary to take elective courses.

    And not all electives are a waste of time, there are still many electives that can be learned. So if you want to take enough credits and learn in elective courses, then you need to carefully choose those good electives.

    Elective courses are important, and university is a place that people yearn for, and many people have gone through the brutal college entrance examination to get into college, so they cherish the opportunity to study. At the university, students not only have professional closed courses to study, but also some electives that they must take.

    1. Cultivate students' personality.

    Electives can be chosen according to your interests. The development direction of students attaches more importance to individualization, and unique and distinctive personality traits and strengths will make students have more advantages in their future development.

    2. Expand students' skills.

    Elective courses are different from compulsory courses, and can help students broaden their horizons in addition to the major they are studying, which is not possible in professional courses. Electives can increase students' knowledge and learn many skills beyond textbooks.

    3. Increase students' credits.

    The credits taken in elective courses are important for future graduation. Only sufficient credits will be required to obtain a degree certificate. Therefore, students should try to focus on their own interests when choosing elective courses.

    No, professional elective courses are generally determined by the school according to the knowledge level, ability and interest of the students in the school. If school i believes that some students have the ability and interest to complete a particular professional course, and the course is not necessary for all students to have the ability or interest, it is not necessary to be part of the intellectual growth of all students.

    By nature, college electives can be broadly divided into two categories: public electives and professional electives.

    In terms of content, basically what majors the school has, what electives will be offered accordingly, and there are some other courses (education, art).

Many people are like this, I personally think that science mainly focuses on logical reasoning, if you have strong reasoning ability, you can still insist on learning, physics is deductive, and it should be okay to practice more; Liberal arts are emotional, and if you feel that you have literary sensitivity, you can also consider it, and then liberal arts do have a lot of things to memorize, but science also has a lot to remember, and the key is to look at your own interests. In fact, I think no matter what I choose, I may regret it, I was in the same situation as you at the time, and then I chose science, and the college entrance examination physics dragged a big foot, and the science comprehensive is basically a physics deduction, and now I regret not choosing liberal arts, no matter how you study, you can say a few words, and get some points.

It varies depending on the place, and you will have to take the test at that time, and you will definitely have to buy the required textbooks, which is the case with mathematics. Geography and history of physical chemistry and liberal arts should also be studied, but the depth is determined by the liberal arts and sciences.
