TEXTBOOK: Visual Basic 2008 How to Program by Deitel
& Deitel, Pearson/Prentice-Hall 2009
ISBN: 0-13-605305-X
COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:
This course covers programming using
Microsoft Visual Basic. At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
MOODLE:
Moodle may contain class notes, PowerPoint slides,
class announcements, the course syllabus, test dates, and other information
for the course. Lab assignments and homework must be submitted using Moodle.
The assignments must have your name, student ID, and exercise name at the
top of the document. Late assignments will be accepted with a penalty. Make
sure you can login to your Moodle account the first week of class. If you
are adding the class, your Moodle account should be active within two hours
of your completed add request. Supplementary information for the course on
Moodle.
E-MAIL:
All students are required to obtain an e-mail account in addition to their
Moodle account. All correspondence through Moodle uses the e-mail address
that you have listed with the Admissions and Records office. This includes
any messages that I send to the class as well as scores for each assignment.
It is important that you update your e-mail address if it changes. If
you have any questions about the course or need assistance, please contact
me in person or by telephone during office hours or by e-mail at any time.
You can update your e-mail address
by clicking the "CLICK HERE" message on the purple rectangle when
you go to the MyWeb page at https://myweb.sjeccd.edu
(NOTE the 'S' in https, and the 'E' in sjeccd). If you have an e-mail filter
for spam, etc., it is your responsibility to make sure that you are receiving
the e-mails that I send you, either from my college address Dan.McElroy@sjcc.edu,
or e-mails sent through Moodle.
ACCESS TO CAMPUS COMPUTER LABS:
San Jose City College has many
computer labs on campus. The labs used by the CIS and CA departments have
all of the software installed that you will need to complete the class assignments.
Most of the other labs on campus will have Microsoft Office installed, but
may not have the Visual Basic.NET development system installed. You need to
be an SJCC registered student to use the computers in the Library. You may
need to be registered for tutoring to use the LRC labs. Other labs serve different
departments on campus. You may need to be registered in one of their classes
to use their labs.
LAB ASSIGNMENTS:
Some of the lab assignments will take longer than the
time available during class. 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. Some labs may require that a disk be turned in as part of the assignment. 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 Visual Basic 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.
In other words, if you want to stay in the class, you need to submit work on a regular basis or your may be dropped. If you want to drop the class, you should drop the class by one of the drop dates to make sure it happens for the best result on your transcript..
