TEXTBOOK: Visual C# 2008 How to Program 3/e by Deitel & Deitel, Pearson/Prentice-Hall 2009 ISBN: 0-13-605322-X

COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:
This course covers programming using Microsoft C#. At the end of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Use C# projects and programming tools to create Windows applications
2. Select and use constants and variables and identify their lifetime and scope
3. Create programs using arithmetic, logical and string expressions
4. Select alternate courses of actions using IF and CASE statements and other C# controls
5. Reduce program complexity using subroutine procedures and user defined functions
6. Implement iterative tasks using loops
7. Create single-form and multi-form applications with menus
8. Access databases using SQL queries
9. Process lists of data using arrays
10. Create programs using object classes

LAB ASSIGNMENTS:
Some of the lab assignments will take longer than the scheduled class time. It is expected that each student will make use of the Open-Lab time to complete assignments as needed. Open-Lab hours are made available to students registered in CIS courses. Instructions will be given during the first class meeting on how to use the open lab.

Programs turned in must include printouts of both the program and the results of testing the program. Programs will be graded on whether they work, quality of output, program readability and appearance, program construction and completeness of testing, and very importantly - documentation.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS MUST INCLUDE:
1. Your name and UserID
2. Printouts of forms and code
3. The results of running the lab when available
4. A written description of the lab project in English.

ATTENDANCE:
You are expected to attend all class meetings. If you are absent from either lecture or lab, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed, and complete any assignments that were given. It would be a good idea to make a friend or two with other people in the class to share notes in the event that any of you are absent. Once you have shown some commitment to the class by attending, participating in quizzes, labs, or homework, I assume that you wish to be in the class. It is your responsibility to drop the class if you do not wish to continue. However, you may be dropped by the instructor if it appears that you are not participating in the class by submitting regular course work. If you do not complete the course, and do not officially drop through the Admissions office and are not dropped by the instructor, you will receive a grade based on your completed work.
