Course Objectives:

This course helps stude= nts to learn problem solving using Visual Basic as the computer language. It demonstrates how to implement logic involving sequence, selection, and repetition. Microsoft .NET is introduced as the development environment. The focus of the course is on proper design using object oriented concepts. It = also motivates the student to continue studies for a future Information Technolo= gy professional.

Attendanc= e and Participation Policy:

The student is expected= and advised to be present at every class meeting, read the text in advance, bri= ng questions to the class and is always responsible for all material discussed= or not during the class meeting. The participation in the laboratory activities is very important. Both attendan= ce and participation will be considered for the final grade. If due to some reason, you have to miss a class, make sure that you have completed the lab work before coming to the next class; otherwise you can not participate in = the class, because lab work is sequential.

Make-up P= olicy:

Exams and Lab Assignmen= ts may be made up only if the student has a proven doctor's excuse, is away on a official business trip, or can prove serious family reasons. They must be made up within a week from the scheduled date. The student must initiate arrangements for the make up.

Performan= ce Evaluation:

5 <= /span>Lab Assignments   6% each, to= taling 30%.

2 = Tests        &= nbsp;    20%      &nbs= p;         40%.

   Final Ex= am        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;      30%.

&nbs= p;

Grading P= olicy:

The Laboratory work giv= en in class will be collected but not graded. The attendance, Participation in cl= ass and Lab, interest, persistence to overcome difficulties will be considered along with the Performance Evaluation to attribute a final letter grade to = the student. Following letter grade (in % terms) criteria: i.e.,

>96 A+;&nbs= p; >92 A; >88 A-; >84 B+; >80 B; >76 B-; >72 C+; >68 C; >64 C-; and <=3D64 is F.

Will be the basis in attributing the final letter grade. The schedule of course material and procedures = for grading in this course are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances.

Lab Assig= nment and Test policy:

Although cooperative ef= forts are not admitted, particularly in the Tests and Labs, however students are encouraged to discuss among themselves any course materials and ask questio= ns at any time in or out of class. Lab Assignments must be done from the appropriate directories, should be stapled, and contain the following statements in that order:

The= Student Name.

The= course number and section.

Lab Assignment # or tes= t #.

&nbs= p;

Dropping = the class without Academic Penalty:

Please check in the Sch= edule of classes, the Last day to drop a class without Academic Penalty. Accordin= g to University regulations the Instructor's consent is not required to drop a class. However, I recommend that no student should consider dropping the class with= out having it examined with me.

Student R= ights and Responsibilities:

The University Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities establishes rights to which the student= is entitled and the responsibilities that the student must assume. Each and ev= ery student is expected to be aware of this Institutional Code. Along with preparing for and attending classes, each student has the responsibility of= promoting high academic standards. Academic dishonesty/inappropriate classroom behavi= or may result in the

Student being withdrawn= from the class or even dismissed from the Academic program. Do your own work. Reme= mber that if you want to shine like a s= tar, you should have your own light and not be scared of darkness.
