.NET Technologies Lab Plan

Language to be used

Labs will be conducted in C#.  The first few labs will be introductory to Visual Studio and C#.  These labs will enable the students to migrate from C++ to C#

Lab Procedure:

The lab sheet will be provided to the students one week before the lab.  The lab sheet will indicate relevant chapters in the book. Students are required to study the related chapters from the book and prepare a pre-report before coming to the lab. The lab instructor will make a presentation explaining the concepts, through the use of one or several typical program.  In the lab, students will modify the program as instructed, or write an entirely new program similar to the one presented.  

Buffer Labs:

In addition to accommodate for labs that could not be conducted, buffer labs can be used to repeat past labs, or complete labs that were not completed in the assigned session. However, at the end of the buffer lab, the student should have submitted all lab reports until that point.
