I had the same problem.
If You send term paper or presentation before all classes is over, You will get bad notes, because its the end of this subject. So, after You send it ale Your classes and homeworks will be useless.

First - do homeworks, then study before all classes till You get blue moodlet „I know everything” or something like that (I don’t know but it might be useful), ask professors about Your notes (You can made friends with them and in the end ask for better notes - it works!) and THEN turn back excellent term paper or/and presentation!

Another tip: be careful, if Your Sim be late with presentation (till 4.30pm!) - for example walk too slow and arrived after 4.30pm - it will be marked as „done” but You do not get the points!

I think that people just start with presentation and the term paper because You can do it any time, but this is a huge mistake! The devs do not leave us clear info what should be done and when, so we must discover this by ourselves. :/

I do my papers or presentations just before the final class. After the final class isn't it too late? And yes, make sure you are in time and leave enough time, i.e. do not be doing your presentation so late that you miss the final class or worse, the final exam for a different class (although that should be pretty obvious advice :) )

And that was a mistake. You should do it in the end, because this will end all subject. After You turn back Your works You can’t study this subject and ask professors for info about Your notes. It’s done. :(
It’s ok after the final class. It is something like an exam.

But so far it has never ended the subject for me. If it ended the subject then the final class would not be available, yet it always has been. And so far I have had all A+'s, which seems unlikely if the final class was still available but was treated as a 'did not attend.'

Same here - my Sim does his term papers and presentations before the first class, works them over until they are 'outstanding' and then turns them in. He does all his homework, goes to every class (I didn't know about the 'take notes' option, so he normally just attended 'normally'), and studies until he gets the 'confident' moodlet. He's had an A+ in every class, so far.

This has to be a bug with you guys. I am playing a new game, with no mods (but buttload of cc though) and I have never waited with turning in either term papers or held a presentation until last day. When the term papers and presentations are of highest quality they get turned in/presented immediatly as possible. Even on the 1st day of term (monday) as I have sometimes finished at least one term paper or a presentation over the weekend before terms start.

Term papers and presentations that are turned in on wednesday or early thursday, is to me LATE. My Sims have managed to go to class for the rest of the term and finished with A+. I also rarely never have them study at all.

Just finish their homework and make sure they go to class and either take notes or listen attentively. At middle of term (wednesday or thursday) I have my Sims email their professors in each course and I generally find out that they are on a good way to get good grades.

When their graduation is near, I do have them study a bit to get skill increase as I know now that having incrementally increased skills are very important and I have gotten a feedback from the professors' email that my Sim(s) have to study more, especially in the last 2 terms, which I do and that helps.
