2 Course Goals or Overview: Students will learn principles of application development in C# for the following: Windows Forms Graphics, Multimedia (sound, images, video) XML and file access Using web services and networking features. Examples of these are creating a stock portfolio calculator by using current stock prices, computing distance from point A to point B using mapping services such as Google maps, etc, Integrating maps, stock quotes, weather, You-Tube and other services in their applications. Examples of these would include writing applications where live weather information of a city keeps displaying on a continuous basis. Simple game development and simple event based programming. Incorporating multiple events on the screen at the same time. Other (fun) activities which will increase student interest in computer science Course Outcomes/Objectives: At the end of this course, the student will 1 Be able to program in Visual Studio C# language using forms and other control elements as opposed to pure console based programs 2 Be able to create applications using media elements such as sound, video, images, etc 3 Be able to create event based programs where several actions are happening at the same time on the screen 4 Be able to integrate web services into their applications Course Requirements & Evaluation Methods: This course will utilize the following instruments to determine student grades and proficiency of the learning outcomes for the course. Exams written tests designed to measure knowledge of presented course material Exercises written assignments designed to supplement and reinforce course material Class Participation daily attendance and participation in class discussions Projects assignments designed to measure ability to apply presented course material Grading Matrix Instrument Total Assignments 30 Class work / quizzes 20 Mid Term Exam - Mandatory 20 Ontime Class Attendance/Participation 10 Final Exam - Mandatory 20 Total: 100 2

3 Grade Determination: A = pts; B = 89 80pts; C = 79 70pts; D = 69 60pts; F = 59pts or below Course Procedures Cell Phones and other electronic equipment: Cellphone use in class is not acceptable (including texting, or other modes of use). All electronic devices and gadgets such as cellphones, laptops, Tablets, headphones, etc must be turned off, away from sight and remain in the off position for the duration of the class and lab period. Students are NOT allowed access to any electronic media or devices during the class duration including textbook, notes, or presentations other than that allowed by the instructor. In case of an emergency, you should get prior permission from the instructor about its use. Class Etiquette and Attendance: Late arrival to classes and missing classes WILL adversely affect your grades. Attendance for each class will be taken in the first one minute at the beginning of the class. For students arriving late, it is the responsibility of the student to meet with the instructor to ensure that she/he is not marked as absent. Each class (unless it is a university excused absence) absence will result in a loss of two points of the 10 points for attendance. Being absent for five or more classes will be sufficient cause for receiving a failing grade for the course (see university attendance policy in the current university catalog). Being absent for an exam will result in a grade of zero for that exam and a fail grade in the course. Students should not go in and out of the class once the class starts because it disturbs the class, except in the case of an emergency and informing the instructor about it. Students leaving a class without permission may not be allowed back into the class. Students should come to class properly dressed. Undergarments should not be visible. Students are strongly advised to bring a light jacket or a sweater to the class because of air-conditioning. Students should not bring any food or drink items to class/lab even if it is packed and sealed. Consuming food or drink items during class, including chewing gum / bubble gum, is not allowed and will be strictly enforced by asking the student to leave the classroom. Students are expected to take notes during the class. All material covered in the class by the instructor is valid material for class quizzes and exams. Submission of Assignments: Specific instructions will be given for each assignment and class work and the students are expected to follow those instructions. All submissions will be through Dropbox. You are required 3

4 to create an account on Dropbox (free) and use the account to submit the assignment or classwork in an appropriate folder under your name. Only you and the instructor and the TA have access to the folder. After submission due date, do NOT delete or remove any files because they are needed for grading. Always hand in whatever you have on the due date for partial credit. All late submissions will be penalized at 50% for the first 24 hours. Assignments and classwork submitted after 24 hours of due date and time will not be graded and a grade of zero will be reported for that assignment. ALL assignments/classwork MUST be submitted as per instructions. Plagiarism note (very strictly enforced): All submitted work must be original work, and must be done by the student. It is NOT permissible to copy code (not even one line) from someone else. Exam Policy Both the Mid-term exam and the Final Exam are MANDATORY. Failing to take either of these exams will result in a fail grade for the course. Make up exams will be given only under emergency extenuating circumstances. These circumstances must be explained in writing and in detail to the instructor at least one week before the exam date. The instructor reserves the right to give the make-up exam. Unless arranged in advance as explained, absence on the day of the exam will result in a grade of zero for the exam and a grade of F for the course. Students with Disabilities: Students who need any accommodations in the class or the materials should contact the Office of Disabilities Services (936) /3582 as soon as possible. Once a letter is obtained from them about the accommodations, please make an appointment to meet with the instructor to discuss the accommodations for the class. Grade Appeal: For course grade appeal, please follow the instructions and steps in the appropriate university catalog on Professional Organizations and Journals IEEE Computer Society: ACM: References None Important Calendar Dates for university courses This course will follow all the university dates published by the university.

6 College of Engineering Textbook Policy Students MUST acquire the required textbook that is listed on the course syllabus for this course. The textbook must be acquired by the 10 th class day. Students are not allowed to share textbooks with students who are currently registered in the same class. Failure to acquire (or show proof of purchase) the required textbook by the 10 th class day will result in the student being administratively dropped from the course. The University will assess financial obligations for the course to the student as with any other dropped class according to the fee schedule as well as your financial aid may be affected. If you are not financially able to purchase a required textbook for an engineering course prior to the 10 th class day, you may apply to the College of Engineering Textbook Fund for a textbook voucher. The voucher can only be used at the Campus Bookstore. This voucher is a loan and must be paid back to the College of Engineering prior to the start of pre-registration for the coming semester. If the loan is not repaid, a hold will be placed on your account. Additional information and application materials can be obtained from the Assistant Dean s Office (SR Collins Rm 349) and obtained online at the College of Engineering website under student resources. University Rules and Procedures Disability statement (See Student Handbook): Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in class should register with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) early in the semester so that appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, a student requesting special accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the SSD coordinator. Academic misconduct (See Student Handbook): You are expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all other courses. Make sure you are familiar with your Student Handbook, especially the section on academic misconduct. Students who engage in academic misconduct are subject to university disciplinary procedures. Forms of academic dishonesty: 1. Cheating: deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on an academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or receiving aid unauthorized by the instructor on assignments or examinations. 2. Academic misconduct: tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of a scheduled test. 3. Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research. 4. Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation and/or paraphrase of someone else s words, ideas, or data as one s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information or essays from the Internet and submitting them as one s own work also constitutes plagiarism. Nonacademic misconduct (See Student Handbook) The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of these rights requires campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Campus behavior that interferes with either (1) the instructor s ability to conduct the class, (2) the inability of other students to profit from the instructional program, or (3) campus behavior that interferes with the rights of others will not be tolerated. An individual engaging in such disruptive behavior may be subject to disciplinary action. Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under nonacademic procedures. Sexual misconduct (See Student Handbook): Sexual harassment of students and employers at Prairie View A&M University is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any member of the university community violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. 6

7 Attendance Policy: Prairie View A&M University requires regular class attendance. Excessive absences will result in lowered grades. Excessive absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may result in a student s course grade being reduced or in assignment of a grade of F. Absences are accumulated beginning with the first day of class. A student who is absent for five or more classes, without permission, will automatically receive an F in the class. Student Academic Appeals Process Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rests with the faculty. However, in those instances where students believe that miscommunication, errors, or unfairness of any kind may have adversely affected the instructor's assessment of their academic performance, the student has a right to appeal by the procedure listed in the Undergraduate Catalog and by doing so within thirty days of receiving the grade or experiencing any other problematic academic event that prompted the complaint.
