Whether you want to start a college that can grant full degrees or you want to start a school that specializes in a specific field, such as electrical engineering or a culinary school, you need a comprehensive list of all of the courses you plan to offer. You'll present it to state education boards for accreditation and so you can attract prospective faculty and students. For a full-degree granting college, create a list of general courses, such as Biology 101, and then build the list into more specific and focused courses. Look up educational requirements in your area so you can make sure you include all of the required classes of an accredited college. Develop a curriculum for each of the courses you plan to offer so your college is more professional and legitimate. Look online for existing curricula and courses that have been used by other colleges for each of the subjects. Look for common components and use it as a model to make sure your curricula are up to current standards and aren't missing any major elements. For instance, if you're putting together a curriculum for a basic anatomy course, look online for other anatomy class curriculum so you can make sure yours isn't missing anything. Creating a class curriculum from scratch is much harder than using an established curriculum as a sample. Separate the course into units that cover a specific element or topic. Then, break down each unit into specific classes and what will be covered. To help reinforce the lessons of each class, craft assignments that students must complete to help them fully understand the main topic of each unit. Use the acronym SWBAT, which stands for "Students Will Be Able To" to help guide your units. Ask yourself what you expect the students to be able to do or know at the end of each unit. Incorporate tests and quizzes designed to assess the students' understanding of the topic. Comprehensive tests or assessments should be included at the halfway point and the end of each course so students can show that they understand the material. Write a syllabus for each class that lists the units and topics that will be covered as well as any textbooks, books, or other materials that each student will need to have for the class. Include a description of the course, the grading and evaluation policy, as well as classroom policies such as class rules, homework, and make-up assignments.

Summary: Put together a list of courses your college will offer. Review existing course curriculum as a model for yours. Write out the lessons and assignments for each course. Create a list of required materials for each course.

As long as you have the money, try to make sure that all of your settlements have at least one building being produced on the construction panel. If you have conquered a city and it already has a religious structure from a different culture, destroy it and build your own. The only exception to this is when that city's happiness rating is too low to last a turn without that building without revolting. However, if you have the ability to upgrade the city and the citizens are becoming too restless, delay whichever current structure you are building with the new one that will advance your city.

Summary: Build. Start building by creating whichever religious structure you want. Build your structures in order of how many turns it will take to complete, from smallest to largest.

You can use hot fudge, chocolate syrup, a fruit sauce, caramel sauce, or any other sauce your heart desires. This step is optional, but it can be helpful to ensure that your sundae has a good ice cream to sauce ratio. Often times, the bottom of layer is barren of any sauce and toppings. By putting sauce in the dish before you place any ice cream in it, you'll ensure that your final bites of sundae have their fair share of sauce. Using your warm ice cream scoop, place two to three generous scoops of your favorite ice cream on the bottom of the dish. Plain vanilla ice cream is the classic ice cream to use for a sundae, but don't feel limited. You can use chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream, cookie dough, or any other flavor your heart desires. It won't take long just warm them up for a few seconds. The sauces will be much easier to drizzle onto your ice cream once they are a little bit heated. This is especially useful if you want to top your sundae with something like peanut butter, which is obviously much thicker than normal sauce. Make sure to only microwave sauces that are in microwave-safe containers, or transfer the sauce to a small bowl or cup before heating. You can use the same sauce you coated the bottom of the dish with, or mix it up! Melted hot fudge is a classic ice cream sundae sauce, but there are a lot of other fun options in the grocery stores. Try caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, butterscotch, or marshmallow fluff. Either use a spoon to scoop the sauce onto your sundae or use the sauces that come in a squeezable container.
Summary: Coat the bottom of your dish in sauce. Scoop your ice cream into your dish. Heat your sauce in the microwave. Drizzle sauce on top of the ice cream.
