12 courses with the subject CIS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CIS 110Computer Information Systems3
This course provides an opportunity to use the computer as a problem-solving tool to enrich one’s personal and professional life. Laboratory exercises furnish hands-on experience with general-purpose software applications such as word processing, spread sheets, graphics, database, and presentation. Lectures focus on computer functions, hardware and software issues, and the role of computers in society. Courses of Instruction: Economics
An introduction to structured programming techniques using a high-level programming language, such as Visual Basic. The course emphasizes the development of practical problem-solving skills, algorithm design, structured programming paradigms, coding skills and documentation. The student is introduced to data representations, conditional, sequential and iterative execution, arrays, structures and unions, and basic sorting/searching techniques. Fall.
An extension of computer programming techniques introduced in CIS 201. The course focuses on more advanced programming topics, including pointers, file input/output, graphics, recursion, and debugging techniques. Object-oriented programming is introduced. Spring.
A survey of fundamental database processing and modeling, including an introduction to related data structures. Introduces the study of database design for forms and reports, and the use of Internet technology for database applications.
CIS 301Contemporary Topics in Computer Programming. 3
A presentation of a high-level programming language of current interest not covered by CIS 201 or 202. The language taught may be complemented by material relevant to the language, such as an introduction to simulation, if a simulation programming language is taught. Emphasis is on building practical programming skills for business decision making applications.
Analysis of management information systems (MIS) for the purpose of planning and decision making (business operations, control and planning applications such as planning models, simulations, and performance evaluation). Note: Also listed as MGT 310.
Provides hands-on instruction in the intermediate/advanced use of word processing, spread sheets, database, and other applications software. Emphasis placed upon practical usage commonly encountered in the business environment. A student successfully completing this course should leave with a good working knowledge of the products discussed and be able to apply learned skills in the business world. Fall, Spring.
An overview of the organization and design of the Internet with emphasis on the tools available for discovering useful resources. Course is delivered as a distance learning course (via the Internet) with two face-to-face meetings at the College. Summer.
CIS 110, Access to the Internet/World Wide Web, an email account.
