| 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. | |||||||||

| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Students
are evaluated primarily on the basis of tests and laboratory assignments.
Each instructor must provide full details the first week of class via a
syllabus supplement.
A minimum of three tests is recommended. Tests will cover material presented in class. Tests are not to be missed without a valid excuse. |
|||||||||

| 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. (Pellissippi State Catalog) | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. A student guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, is immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed through the regular Pellissippi State procedures as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign an F or a zero for the exercise or examination or to assign an F in the course. | |||||||||
| C. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| Students are expected to promptly attend all lecture and lab classes as assigned. If a class is missed, student must make up all work and get notes and/or handouts. | |||||||||
