What is going on with failing classes?
I had a sim who had an A-. The next term she had 2 classes and was on top of everything. All homework done, papers and studied on top of it. Then it was over and she got suspended. I don't understand ...

My first student has just signed up for her third term of three classes. She earned straight A+ for the first six classes. She never studied at all. However, she did work diligently to improve her skill levels required for each class, did her homework immediately after class when possible, edited term papers until outstanding and then turned them in and was always on time or early for class. I also tried to make sure she was focused when going to class, always made sure all needs were in the green or maxed and had her take notes only while in class.
She's working towards a Distinguished degree in Computer Sciences at Foxbury. I believe she was accepted for this program because she's maxed out in Programming from hacking accounts to survive. First term she lived in Tidal Tower dorms, second term she moved out to live in her own tiny house. It's the weekend and her third term starts on Monday. I'm waiting to have her begin writing term papers until she's attended at least one class requiring the term paper. Why? I read in another thread that someone had written and turned in their term papers before any classes even started and were accused of cheating for it. o.O
Other details about my Sim include the fact she doesn't belong to any organizations, attended guest lectures and has raised her Research & Debate skills to Level 6. I wish that Research machine wasn't so expensive, otherwise I'd buy her one to use at home. It's handy for raising skills and they can earn money for sharing knowledge, but I dislike how other Sims constantly pester her while she's using it. Especially this one particular female professor. It's almost as if she's stalking her or something. Maybe she has a crush on my Sim? lol She is kinda cute, hmm...
...nah, best wait until she has her degree in hand and then think about pursuing any kind of romantic or otherwise relationships. She has a BFF already anyway, Angela Pleasant, or I'd consider my Sim befriending her at least. She's also a bit enamored with Cameron Fletcher, but hasn't pushed anything with him as of yet.
Anyway, it's my belief that grades are extremely skewed toward skill levels at the base, but also factors in being on time for class, taking notes and turning in outstanding term papers and presentations. I wouldn't bother buying those expensive study guides or studying at all. My Sim didn't. *shrugs*
