"This course is an overview of ""visual"" programming using a programming language like VISUAL BASIC. Topics covered include object-oriented programming, graphical user interfaces, and client-server connectivity using DDE and OLE. Participants will begin by writing simple programs and progress to programs of moderate complexity. In addition, participants will analyze and modify larger, more complex applications. Prerequisites: CIS 120." Top
ECO111 - Macroeconomics
This course is designed to instruct students in the basic principles of supply and demand as they impact on the American economy. It places special emphasizes on those national policy decisions that are utilized to solve the problems of inflation and unemployment, such as Keynesianism, monetarism, and supply side. Also, the student explores other theoretical solutions and examines the effects of these policy decisions on the individual consumer.
