Programming for Managers is the 2nd class I've been assigned, and the final project is wholly unrelated to any instruction in the course.
It might have been relevant had we spent a semester programming aspects of visual basic, using Visual Studio, but we did not. We learned an overview - and did zero hands on- of multiple languages- survey style. The requirements of the final project are not covered in this course. This course is a requirement for the MIS concentration if you do not bring in the Google cert. I transferred in 117 hours. Not the google certificate.
Secondly, I'm underwhelmed with the MIS class. It's probably me, but this question just sent me...
"According to the Learning Activity titled “Computer Hardware,” what is the largest size of Byte listed? "
I've never heard of any multiple of bytes (kilobyte, megabyte, etc.) being referred to as "size of byte". In my mind, "size of byte" is always 8 bits. This type of wording is really throwing me off, and it's ubiquitous. Also, content of the class is decidedly dated.
The first class was Intermediate Computing, and it was pretty straightforward. The only downside was that the length of the class exceeded what it should have, as the instructor took > 72 hours to grade. When you're subscribing to a college in 7-week chunks, time is money.
At this point I'm not sure whether I'll consider this a $1400.00 life lesson
, or find the willpower to teach myself Visual Studio, Visual Basic, and build a program in them (with supporting database) I expect I'll have the "Programming for Managers" course sitting incomplete in my competencies while I cycle through others- one by one- now.
I apologize for the venty-nature of my post, but these are things that I am experiencing, and others like I've done, may get value from seeing the full range of experiences being had.
