COURSE STRUCTURE

Introduction to Computers is a three-credit, twelve-week course

consisting of ten (10) assignments—five written assignments based on the Digital Planet: Tomorrow’s Technology and You textbook and five

programming assignments based on the Visual Basic text—ten (10)

chapter quizzes based on the assigned reading from the Digital Planet textbook, and two (2) projects: a Computer Fundamentals Project and a

Programming Project. Weekly learning activities include reading

assigned chapters from both textbooks, doing suggested self-check exercises, and preparing written and programming assignments to be

sent to your mentor for grading.

The “Course Calendar” in the syllabus specifies which chapters in the

textbooks you should read each week. It also indicates due dates for

submitting written and programming assignments, taking chapter

quizzes, and completing projects.

ASSIGNMENTS

You are required to submit ten (10) assignments to your mentor for grading—five written assignments based on the Digital Planet: Tomorrow’s

S-6

Technology and You textbook and five programming assignments based on

the Visual Basic text. Assignment questions are found in the “Assignment

Modules” section of the syllabus.

For this course you will need to submit your assignments electronically.

Please follow the directions given in the Student Handbook.

Regarding the submission of programming assignments, please read

“Appendix: A Note on Submitting Programming Assignments” at the end of this syllabus. For each assigned programming exercise or project,

you will need to submit a ZIP file of the Visual Basic application folder

for that exercise or project.

CHAPTER QUIZZES

You are required to take ten (10) short online chapter quizzes based on

the assigned reading from the Digital Planet textbook. Each chapter quiz is

20 minutes long and consists of 20 multiple-choice questions. These quizzes are intended as diagnostic assessments that test your knowledge

of computer fundamentals and the topics and items covered in the text.

For that reason, you may take the quizzes as often as you want until the due date, at which time your mentor will “lock in” your last recorded

score as your grade on the quiz. The launch link for the quiz is available

within the course Web site.

PROJECTS

Introduction to Computers has two (2) comprehensive projects in lieu of

a midterm and final exam, respectively. Please see the “Projects” section

of the syllabus for details, and consult the Course Calendar for the due

dates.

Computer Fundamentals Project

The first project, worth 15 percent of your course grade, focuses on

computer fundamentals. It provides you with a chance to apply what you have learned about computer fundamentals to a real-life scenario in

which you automate a medical office by replacing old, outdated

technology with all new computer technology and equipment given a

fixed budget.

S-7

Programming Project

The second project, worth 25 percent of your course grade, focuses on the

development of several Visual Basic applications to be used by the same

medical office you helped to automate in the previous project. In this Programming Project you put computer fundamental concepts into a

real-life situation by developing several small applications that create a

modern data flow process within a small organization.

GRADING

Your final grade in the course will be determined as follows:

Written Assignments (5) 25 percent

Programming Assignments (5) 25 percent

Chapter Quizzes (10) 10 percent Computer Fundamentals Project 15 percent

Programming Project 25 percent

All activities will receive a numerical grade of 0–100. You will receive a

score of 0 for any work not submitted. Your final grade in the course will be a letter grade. Letter grade equivalents for numerical grades are as

follows:

A = 93–100 C+ = 78–79

A– = 90–92 C = 73–77

B+ = 88–89 C– = 70–72

B = 83–87 D = 60–69

B– = 80–82 F = Below 60 (no credit)

To receive credit for the course, you must earn a letter grade of C or better (for an area of study course) or D or better (for a nonarea of study course),

based on the weighted average of all assigned course work (e.g.,

assignments, quizzes, projects, etc.).

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

To succeed in this course, consider following these steps and study tips:

S-8

1. Read carefully the entire “Course Essentials” section of the syllabus,

making sure that all aspects of the course are clear to you and that

you have all the materials required for the course.

2. Take the time to read the entire Student Handbook section of the

course manual. The handbook answers many questions about how to

proceed through the course and how to get the most from your

educational experience at Thomas Edison State College.

3. Each week, consult the “Course Calendar” in the syllabus to

determine which chapter(s) in the textbooks to study. The calendar

also indicates the due dates for submitting assignments and projects and when you should take your quizzes. It is essential that you follow

the calendar each week to ensure that you stay on track throughout

the course.

4. Take advantage of the materials provided with your textbooks to help you master the material in the course. The Tomorrow’s Technology and

You text, for example, has end-of-chapter summaries and review

questions (true or false, multiple-choice, and essay) and a companion Web site (http://wps.prenhall.com/bp_beekman_tomtech_10/). The

Visual Basic text comes bundled with Visual Studio 2012 Express

Edition, the software you need to do the programming assignments, and includes six months of prepaid access to the book’s companion

Web site.

http://wps.prenhall.com/bp_beekman_tomtech_10/
