 Subject: Program and Quiz #2 and Exam schedule


Hi Visual Basic students,

    Here is the revised schedule, so you know when the 2nd and 3rd quizzes
will be, as well as the midterm exam.

    I will hand back and go over quiz one on Monday, September 30th.

    Each quiz is worth about 5% of your grade.
    Today (Friday) we have a hands-on lab class.

    c)  The 2nd quiz will be on Friday, October 4th.

    d)  The 3rd quiz will be on Friday, October 11th.
        4th quiz will be sometime in November.

  2.  The midterm exam will count for 20% of your grade.
      It will be held on Friday, October 25th.

  Your program from page 201 of the textbook, problem #10, is
  due on Friday, October 4th.  It was handed out and assigned
  last Wednesday, September 25th.

  Page 201 problem #10 has a Table 5-5: Golfer Data
  and you should add your name as one of the golfers and
  make up some more interesting names to substitute for
  the rest of the 6 names.  Your favorite fictional characters,
  TV show characters or actors, musicians, or friends or whatever
  would be great to use instead of the boring names the
  textbook suggests.

  Your input file will be named golfer.txt and can be created using
  the Notepad program, which is an Accessory on your Windows Start
  button, Programs menu list of choices.

  Your program will use a ListBox control.
  Your program comes from Chapter 5 of the textbook and assumes that
  you study and read the chapter 5 material and Visual Basic examples
  to learn how to read golfer names and scores from an input file
  and how to store data into a list box and how to do repetition
  and looping in Visual Basic.
