Some people have not yet submitted their project proposal and/or met with me about their projects. If you have submitted your project proposal to me and had your official first meeting with me you need to do so ASAP.
I finally got started on my attendance and participation program. The idea is that I have several classes and want to be able to call up a particular class and see the student names located approximately how they are in the classroom. I still have some work to do but the hard part is mostly done. The approximate process thus far has been is noted below.
I decided to use checkboxes with student names attached for taking roll. I also have a couple of text boxes for adding and subtracting from the base A & P score. And, text boxes need labels. What I have then is something like the following for each student:
[_] student name
[0] Plus [0] Minus
I should be able to handle everything just by clicking.
I will have a button to go to each a new form for each class. But those form can be "built" by code when I click on the button. They will each use the same basic form which (I think) only needs a title (.Text) value and a exit button so the values can be saved to a file before closing. (That code will come later.)
Since I am going to have to specify the location of each item. I planned for a 1000 (wide) by 600 (high) form. I printed out a seating chart and associated numbers with each position. (This took some time.) Then I numbered each seat.
I used Excel to produce the data file. Each row (student) has an X coordinate and a Y coordinate and a name. To make it easier to pick the values out of the file I left a blank column between the Y value and the name.
Do you any questions about (nearly) anything?
