Catalog COMP 2023. Applications Development with C#. (3-0) Credit 3 semester
Description: hours. Introduction to developing Windows based applications using the
Visual Studio C# language. Students will learn how to develop software for
several types of (fun) applications using interactive forms, multimedia,
graphics, images, Web services, streaming video, etc. Basics of developing
simple games, incorporating web services such as Mapping, weather, You-
tube, stock quotes, etc will also be covered. Open to all majors.
Prerequisites: COMP 1013, or COMP 1213, or one year of High School computer
programming
Co-requisites: None
Required 1. Text Book: Computing with C# and the .NET Framework By Art Gittleman,
Texts: ISBN13: 978-1449615505, Jones and Bartlett Publications, 2012, 2nd edition
The text book is MANDATORY. Textbook MUST be brought to class EVERY
class. Students who do not bring the textbook to class will be marked absent for
that class. Students must read the chapter material from the book every class

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

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
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)-261-3581/3582 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.
