CSCI1580 Visual Programming

 

Course code CSCI1540
Course title Visual Programming
可視化編寫
Course description This course introduces computer application programming using a visual programming environment. Students will learn visual programming principles, modern programming concepts, and problem solving techniques. There will be learning examples and hands-on exercises for the understanding and creation of GUI-based computer applications in areas such as data processing, statistical analysis, financial reporting, etc. Students will be able to apply these computing skills in building practical computer applications for various disciplines.
本科以可視化編程環境介紹計算機應用程式設計。學生將學會可視化編程的基本原理、現代編程的概念和解決問題的技術。透過學習例子和實踐練習,讓同學明白並創作基於圖像化使用者接口的計算機應用程式,應用於例如數據處理、統計分析、財政報告等範疇。學生將能應用這些技能於不同學科中,建立實用的計算機應用程式。

Grading basis Graded
Grade Descriptors A/A-:  EXCELLENT – exceptionally good performance and far exceeding expectation in all or most of the course learning outcomes; demonstration of superior understanding of the subject matter, the ability to analyze problems and apply extensive knowledge, and skillful use of concepts and materials to derive proper solutions.
B+/B/B-:  GOOD – good performance in all course learning outcomes and exceeding expectation in some of them; demonstration of good understanding of the subject matter and the ability to use proper concepts and materials to solve most of the problems encountered.
C+/C/C-: FAIR – adequate performance and meeting expectation in all course learning outcomes; demonstration of adequate understanding of the subject matter and the ability to solve simple problems.
D+/D: MARGINAL – performance barely meets the expectation in the essential course learning outcomes; demonstration of partial understanding of the subject matter and the ability to solve simple problems.
F: FAILURE – performance does not meet the expectation in the essential course learning outcomes; demonstration of serious deficiencies and the need to retake the course.
