Is there any reason why you cant just use text files and concentrate on other programming features with vb.net?

I have a program where you connect to Access and it is messy in vb.net.
They need to know SQL and relational DB....maybe too much in too short time frame.

Software Module.
 
Hello all. Like Andrew I am at a bit of a loss in regard to the Outcome Software Module. I'm currently getting the kids to do exercises using VB but am at a loss as too what standard is required. Also I am trying to connect an  access database to a VB program (AJ's book, Ch 13) but am having a devil of a time as he doesn't use Vis Studio.Net 2005 . Could someone point me in the right direction?
 
Kindest Regards

Have a look at sample Outcomes from Adrian Janson and Kevork Krozian.
They come with assessment sheets and there are items there which you
could borrow. Check the VITTA site and edulists for them.

Hi Andrew,

                 I had the same problem last year.

Sadly I also found the VCAA and other resources

remarkably unhelpful. In the end I waited and used

a sac that had been created by someone else.

Basically it is one form with controls sufficient to

allow the user to interact with data in a file.



The SAC I eventually used was produced by

 the SD teacher at Belmont High (ta very much). 

I modified it slightly and changed the assessment

criteria a bit but I include the original and my

solution to my version.



Btw, I found some were not very good due to

the lack of time available for cutting code in

semester 1 - a problem with the course.



Hope this helps.



Russell Quinn

Hi,

This is my first time ever teaching VCE Software Development.

The IT study design asks that the software development 3 students
develop a software module as part of Outcome 2 but is strangely silent
on what a module is.

The text Dawson and Janson is not helpful here either.

If I use the example assessment task from the study design that involves
the quotes for painting. Then from my point of view I see this as being
broken into an number of modules, two of which may be a module to gather
customer details and another to do the actual costing. But as a
programming task these seem to be rather small. Am I on the wrong track
here?

Any clarification/suggestions gratefully received.

Hello Everyone
Here is an Excel workbook I made a little while ago to help me mark
SACs. Basically it makes new assessment sheets based on template and
keeps track of all the students marks from those sheets on a summary
sheet and makes it a bit easier to navigate to different student's
assessment sheets too.  Anyhow have a play, it saved me a bit of time
and effort, hopefully someone else finds it useful too. I included a
little instruction sheet too.

Cheers,
