Introduction

ITP 112 uses Visual Basic 2005 to teach beginning Windows programming.. It is intended to be a first programming course for students in the Information Systems Technology Curriculum. The course is intended to teach the design of screens, the use of “objects” within an event driven programming environment. This course meets for three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.

Instructional Procedure

This course is taught with a series of lectures and laboratory exercises. The student is responsible for the material in the reading assignments whether or not it is discussed further in the class. The student must meet all classroom and lab assignments of this course. Work outside regularly scheduled class and lab periods may be necessary. It is to be noted: NO STUDENT CAN EXPECT TO PASS THIS COURSE UNLESS ALL PROGRAMMING PROJECTS ARE SUBMITTED FOR GRADING WITH NO COMPILE ERRORS AND SOME OUTPUT RESULTS.

Grading System

The final grade is determined as follows:		Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
40%	Test & Final Exam	90-100	A
60%	Programs	80-89	B
		70-79	C
		60-69	D
		0-59	F

All work submitted for grading must include the student name, date submitted, the assignment number and page in text when turned in as a comment in the digital drop box.

Discussion of assignments/projects with other students is acceptable once an individual has made an independent effort. If the instructor observes students collaborating on an assignments/project, he/she may request to see evidence of independent effort from those collaborating. All work submitted for grading is expected to be the student’s own work. If it becomes evident the solution to a problem is not an original effort; the faculty member is obligated to notify the Honor Council.

Any student who uses any computer at CVCC is assumed to have read and subscribes to the Computer Ethics Agreement posted in every computer lab on campus. Please take the time to read, understand, and adhere to the guidelines in this document.

Syllabus (Spring 2008)

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes for each course in which he/she is enrolled. Occasionally, it is unavoidable that a student misses a class. In such a case, the student must notify the instructor prior to such absence, if possible. It is the sole responsibility of the student to find out what assignments are missed and to make arrangements to makeup the missed work. Missing more than 20% of scheduled classes will result in the instructor dropping the student from the class with a failing grade.

PLEASE NOTE: Make-up tests are given at the discretion of the instructor and will not be given for absences in which the student has not conferred with the instructor before the absence. The student not arranging a makeup test will receive a zero (0) for that test. If a makeup test is granted, it must be taken prior to the instructor handing back the graded test.

Additional Information

At times, materials presented in the lab or class will be other than that found in the text. The student is responsible for all material covered in the class lectures and labs. Should an absence be unavoidable, the student should obtain as much information as possible through his/her own initiative and consultation with other students. Once the student has obtained missed notes and has read the covered material in the texts, the instructor will be available to clarify concepts.

Room 2414 is designated as the Business Division open lab with hours maintained outside regularly scheduled lab periods. If the student does not have access to a computer and the correct software, he/she is urged to use the open lab. Please see schedule of open hours for the lab posted outside the open lab door.

Course Schedule

Classes will be completed according to the outline, as much as possible. Exact topics may vary depending on questions and general progress of the class. Classroom participation is expected and encouraged. The instructor can only assume everything is understood if no one has questions. Lecture and lab will be informal and unannounced quizzes may be given if the instructor does not get sufficient feedback for the class.
