All of the 1000-level or above courses in computer science, mathematics,<br />

and business that are required for the B.A. or B.S. degree or the minor<br />

must be completed with a grade of C or better.<br />

The computer science curriculum at <strong>LaGrange</strong> <strong>College</strong> is based on the<br />

recommendations of the A.C.M. (Association for Computing Machinery).<br />

In addition, our students have the opportunity to take courses that will<br />

make them more attractive in the job market. These courses include<br />

programming languages (such as Python, COBOL, Visual Basic, and<br />

Java), PC support and troubleshooting (including an A+ course), database<br />

administration (Oracle), network administration, and web programming<br />

(including XML, XHTML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Adobe web<br />

applications).<br />

ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES<br />

The accomplishment of these objectives will be demonstrated by the<br />

following:<br />

1. Satisfactory performance on a programming test. This test will be<br />

based on the concepts learned in CSCI 1990 and 2990 and must be<br />

taken at the end of the semester in which the student completes<br />

CSCI 2990. The test will be offered once at the end of every<br />

semester in which CSCI 2990 is offered. The test must be<br />

satisfactorily completed by the end of the semester in which the<br />

student reaches senior status, but under no circumstances will a<br />

student be allowed to take the test more than four times prior to and<br />

including that semester. If the test has not been completed<br />

satisfactorily by that time, the student will not be allowed to<br />

continue in either the B.A. or the B.S. degree programs in computer<br />

science.<br />

2. Satisfactory performance by the student in delivering a presentation<br />

at a regularly scheduled Computer Science Department seminar.<br />

This presentation will be developed with the approval of and<br />

possible input from the computer science faculty. If the student does<br />

not arrive at the scheduled time for the seminar or does not perform<br />

satisfactorily in the seminar, the department reserves the right to<br />

impose additional requirements to substitute for the seminar. A<br />

student who fails to fulfill these requirements will not be allowed to<br />

graduate.<br />
