CIT 166 – Visual Basic Programming
MASTER COURSE SYLLABUS
**Instructors will provide students with additional course-specific information, including class
meeting times [including, if applicable, a schedule of hybrid days and their corresponding
online activities], attendance/makeup policies, assignment/test scheduling not already in course
outline [e.g. hybrid activities; see above], class rules, and instructor contact information [name,
office number, phone number, email, office hours], as necessary and appropriate.**
Credits: Lecture, 3; Lab, 0
Pre-requisite(s): CIT 110 – Theory of Computing
Co-requisite(s): None
Course Description: The student will use Visual Basic to analyze, design, code, test, and debug
a computer application using structured programming techniques. There will be an emphasis on
modular programming techniques.
Course Methodology: This course will utilize a combination of classroom discussion and
hands-on training that will provide the student with an understanding of Microsoft Visual Basic
Programming. Homework and projects will be assigned to help ensure that the student is
achieving the expected course objectives. The class will meet in a microcomputer laboratory.

Student Evaluation:
The following criteria will be used to determine final grades:
Quizzes 20 %
4 Exams 35 %
Various Projects 35 %
Participation 10 %
CIT 166 L Zuccolotto Page 3 of 5
Each student’s final grade will be determined by results of at least 5 evaluations, which will be
some combination of exams, homework and project deliverables. Assignments will be expected
when due and points may be deducted for late assignments. If a student misses an exam, the
grade will be zero unless the absence was a result of extenuating circumstances that are
verifiable by the instructor, in which case a make-up examination will be scheduled. Students
will also receive five points each week for class participation if they attend class. Any student
attending class will be participating in the class.
Each student must demonstrate the ability to perform all learning objectives in order to receive a
minimum grade of “C” for the course.
The student’s final grade will be determined using the following grading policy:
90%-100% = “A”
80% - 89% = “B”
70% - 79% = “C”
60% - 69% = “D”
below 60% = “F”
Faculty across sections will be expected to follow the established syllabus learning outcomes,
instructional objectives, and all other essential elements including common course assessments.
Course Outline:
The following is a tentative schedule for the term. Your instructor may deviate from the
schedule as deemed necessary. Advance notice will be provided by your instructor if changes are
made to this schedule.
