Rationale for Prerequisite, Corequisite, Recommended Preparation CIS 12L provides fundamentals in problem
solving that are necessary for students to succeed in CIS 18L. CIS 11 focuses on computer design and
acrchitecture principles. These priciples are helpful for students programming in Visual Basic. The curricula
of the lecture and lab portions are interwoven. Students require the continual reinforcement within the lab
section of knowledge gained in the lecture section. The lecture and lab are separate courses only because of
scheduling necessities

III. OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS
1. COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES:
List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable
student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course.
For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of "critical thinking." Upon successful completion of
this course, the students will be able to:
Use proficiently, an integrated programming environment to write, test, and debug Visual Basic code.
Apply problem-solving tools and skills to write software algorithms.
Create executable code using Visual Basic.
Create graphical user interfaces.
Create Windows applications using Visual Basic.
Create a database interface using Visual Basic.
2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for
non-credit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess,
anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students will analyze a problem, formulate a solution and code the solution using Visual Basic and an
integrated programming environment. Once students have written the source code for their projects, they
will then thoroughly test their projects for accuracy.
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category A, B, or C. If category A is not
checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part
of the grade.
A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which
demonstrate standard English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and
essay development. In grading these assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English
Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s)
term or other paper(s)
laboratory report(s)
written homework
reading report(s)
other (specify)
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate
because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain)
B. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
exam(s)
quizzes
homework problems
laboratory report(s)
field work
other (specify)
C. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s)
field work
performance exam(s)
other (specify) Assignments that require the student to create working code
D. Objective examinations, including:
multiple choice
true/false
matching items
completion
other (specify) code evaluation and creation
E. Other (specify)
NOTE: A course grade may not be based solely on attendance.

IV. TEXTS AND MATERIALS
APPROPRIATE TEXTS AND MATERIALS:
(Indicate textbooks that may be required or recommended, including alternate texts that may be used.)
Text(s)
Title: Programming Business Applications with Visual Basic 6.0
Required
Edition: 3rd
Alternate
Author: William H. Burrows, University of Washington
Recommended
Publisher: Irwin, McGraw Hill
Date Published: 2002
(Additional required, alternate, or recommended texts should be listed on a separate sheet and attached.)
For degree applicable courses the adopted texts have been certified to be college-level:
Yes.
Basis for determination:
is used by two or more four-year colleges or universities (certified by the Division Dean or Center Dean)
OR
has been certified by the LAC as being of college level using a Readability Index Scale.
No Request for Exception Attached.
REQUIRED READING, WRITING, AND OTHER OUTSIDE OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
Over a 16-week presentation of the course, 3 hours per week are required for each unit of credit. ALL Degree
Applicable Credit classes must treat subject matter with a scope and intensity, which require the student to study
outside of class. Two hours of independent work done out of class are required for each hour of lecture. Lab and
activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the regular class time the students in this
class do the following:
Study
Answer questions
Skill practice
Required reading
Problem solving activity or exercise
Written work (essays/compositions/report/analysis/research)
Journal (reaction and evaluation of class, done on a continuing basis throughout the semester)
Observation of or participation in an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert, debate,
meeting, etc.)
