Computer Science 205 is the third semester course in Visual Studio programming using Visual Basic. This course is designed for students who have been successful in the Computer Science 105 & 106 courses or the equivalent. In this class, I want you to become familiar with the use of the more advanced features and capabilities of Visual Basic so that you can further your skills. A good deal of emphasis this semester will be placed upon the creation of Windows programs that manage databases such as MS ACCESS and SQL Server. We will use SQL Server Express in order to demonstrate how to solve real-world database problems with today’s technology. This class is definitely not recommended for first-time programmers. How to Contact Me... The easiest and most reliable way to contact me is through e-mail. That way, I can respond to you from home and on week-ends. I do not recommend that you leave voice-mail at my office. Evaluation Your final grade in my class will be based on the total number of points you earn. I plan to give you 3 projects to complete outside of class. The grade which you earn will be based upon the total amount of points you receive on the in-class activities, quizzes, projects, and exams. Grading will be based upon the following criteria: 90%= A The total possible points in the course will be approximately as follows: Tests 180 (2 exams @ 90) Projects 90 (3 projects @ 30) Quizzes 150 (Approx. 5 @ 30) TOTAL 420
