Course: CISPROG 403 -  Advanced Visual Basic Programming

Course Meeting: Wed, 7:00-10:00PM

Term: Spring 2008

Prerequisite:

CISPROG 3 – Fundamentals of Visual Basic Programming

Textbook:

Microsoft® Visual Basic® 2006 RELOADED: Advanced, Zak, Diane. Course Technology. Boston, MA. 2005 (ISBN: 1-4188-3643-5)

 Objective:

Advanced Visual Basic Programming for business applications. Emphasis on report generation, database interfaces, and project design.  

Required Material:

1) Removable Storage (floppy, USB drive, CD-R) for project submittal.

 Attendance:

Students are expected and encouraged to attend every class meeting. If you are unable to attend, please email me in advance and let me know the circumstances. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to obtain class notes and/or assignments from your student peers.  

Course Evaluation:

• Extra Credit Opportunities
  • (5 pts.) lab assistance*
    
     

You will be evaluated on the following:

• Design and development of programs
• On-time assignment completion
• Documentation of design and application
• Understanding of concepts in Visual Basic
• Midterm and Final Exams
  
   

Grading:

Homework/Labs:

Homework/Labs will consist of end-of-chapter assignments, in-class labs, and/or articles. Homework will be assigned every week and you will be required to turn in the assignment the following class meeting. If you do not turn in your homework assignments the following class meeting, you will be penalized 10% of the assignment grade (no exceptions). Keep in mind that Homework/Labs equate to 60% of your course grade, meaning that being diligent in this area will greatly dictate your overall course grade. Homework and labs should be completed individually.   

Exams

There will be a midterm and final exam for this course. Although every effort will be made to adhere to the course schedule, the instructor reserves the right to alter the examination schedule during the semester as deemed necessary. There are no make-up exams given during the semester. If you know you will be absent during the midterm and/or final it is your responsibility to notify the instructor in advance.

Participation:

Students are encouraged to read assigned chapter(s) prior to the next class meeting. This will allow students to engage in class discussion, review, and labs.

 Academic Integrity:

Plagiarism includes but is not limited to the following: (a) The direct copying of any source, such as written and verbal material, computer files, audio disks, video programs or musical scores, whether published or unpublished, in whole or in part, without proper acknowledgement that it is someone else’s.  (b) Copying of any source in whole or in part with only minor changes in wording or syntax even with acknowledgement.  (c) Submitting as one’s own work a report, examination paper, computer file, lab report or other assignment which has been prepared by someone else.  This includes research papers purchased from any other person or agency.  (d) The paraphrasing of another’s work or ideas without proper acknowledgement.” 

Plagiarism and cheating is strictly prohibited and will result in an automatic failure of the assignment and/or course.

 Schedule:

* Schedule is subject to change at anytime.

Disclaimer:

Although this is an advanced course, understand that graduated learning is a process; completion of this course does not mean you will be an automatic subject matter expert. I encourage you to take your learning and programming knowledge to the next level by continuing to learn about Visual Basic programming after this course through self-directed learning. My expectations of this course is to provide you an advanced prospective on application development using Visual Basic. I have always believed that education starts after structured instructional learning; however this course should set a solid foundation to application development and programming.  I hope you find this class rewarding and helpful in your quest to becoming application developers.
