Well if he gets F, then yes, he failed and flunked.

There are several threads on the forum about this, most people get A or A+ even without trying, but some insist they always get Fs or never higher than C.

There can be several reasons:

1. Always be on time, always do your homework, always do your term papers and presentations to at least "Good" quality for an A or A-
2. Don't fret if you just get a B or B+ first semester, grades go up as your skills go up.
3. Speaking of, and I think this is the big one: Grades are at least partly calculated from your skill level. Basically that means that if you apply to UNI in a course you don't have talent for you have a much harder time. If you pick a degree you already have skills in you are virtually guaranteed an A at the end. I cannot stress this enough. Some people deliberately pick degrees their Sims have no skills in, and that is a big mistake.
4. NEVER do more than three courses and one society per semester unless you want a horrible time. Also, unlike other activities the Sport Team one counts as an actual part time job and therefore takes as much time as a course. So if you want to be a soccer star, don't do more than TWO courses, the sport team and maybe a society.
