Working Together

I encourage you to work together in lab on the lab exercises. Often, you find you don't understand something as well as you think when you try to explain it to the person next to you.

You may work together in pairs on the homework; if you do, hand in only one copy with both names on it. Should you choose to do homework as part of a team, be sure you understand it. Resist the temptation to be lazy. When you take the exams, you will be on your own. If you don't understand the problems you hand in to me, you will be doomed on the tests.

Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra (1701.121) or equivalent preparation

This course doesn't assume any knowledge of programming, but you should know how to use a mouse and do basic computer tasks. And you should have a good command of high school algebra, because the ideas in programming (variables, &c.) have a lot in common with mathematics.

Course Topics

• Designing a graphical user interface with Visual Basic
• Input and output
• Variables and data types
• Decision statements (if, select case)
• Loops
• Arrays
