| Catalog Course Description: | |||||||||
| A study of Windows graphic interface development through the learning and hands-on application of Visual BASIC programming language. The learner will develop, design, code and test graphic sessions, images, windows, mouse selections, data usage and image movements to produce client-based working programs. Emphasis will be on code creation, sound programming practice, window control and graphic design. Development of working client-based products is essential to the completion of this course. | |||||||||
| Entry Level Standards: | |||||||||
| The student must have sufficient math and computer literacy background to analyze problems logically. The student should have previous programming experience and knowledge of Windows and PC usage. | |||||||||

| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Cheating of any kind will be grounds for failure. All students will adhere to school and lab rules at all times. Students are expected to create their own working programs independent of others except when directed to work in teams. | |||||||||
