Sims can do assignments or write term papers to increase their class performance.
Assignments can be done by clicking on a Sim and selecting "College ... Do Assignment". The Sim will then produce a blue notebook and do the assignment, which takes one Sim-hour to finish.
The action can be canceled at any time after the Sim has put the notebook down. If it is canceled while the Sim is headed for a desk or table, he or she will still put the notebook on that surface. If the player chooses, an unfinished assignment can be completed by someone other than the Sim who owns the notebook. This can be done through [[influence]] by clicking on a Sim and choosing "Influence ... Do My Assignment" (requires 2000 influence points and an already started assignment). Also, if the notebook does not belong to the selected Sim, that Sim will still be able to work on it, and this will fulfill the [[Wants and Fears|want]] to do an assignment. Once the assignment for that notebook is completed, no matter who completes it, the Sim who owns it will gain class performance. Unlike [[homework]], unfinished assignments can be deleted in [[buy mode]]. This is useful because uncontrolled Sims can, and very often will, do assignments autonomously. While unfinished assignments on a college [[community lot]] will be removed when that lot is exited, assignments on a residential lot will remain until they are finished or deleted.
Writing a term paper can be done once per semester, and doing so gives a huge boost in class performance. Writing a term paper is done on any [[Computer#Functions in The Sims 2|computer]] in the college sub-neighborhood. A term paper can be started on one computer and continued on another, and takes a total of three Sim-hours to finish. Sims can also influence another Sim to write it for them by clicking on the Sim and selecting "Influence ... Write My Term Paper" (requires 2500 influence points). Writing a term paper is a major drain on a Sim's [[Fun]] motive; a Sim who writes a term paper from start to finish without taking a break will have a seriously depleted Fun meter by the time he or she finishes.
