ICS 3U0 FINAL PROJECT 10% of Final Mark

For this final Visual Basic project, you will create a program on a topic of your choice.

GUIDELINES

1. All programs will have

• a useful and identifiable purpose.
• a process or set of operations that requires solid thinking on the part of the
programmer
i.e mathematical processes are good, basic point & click not so good
• a need for multiple forms
• a need for variables
to be considered Level 3; sub procedures ( other than built in subs )
to be considered Level 4; something new

2. The program cannot be similar to (or an enhancement of) any programs that have been
done
in class this year.
3. The program will have all the features of properly written programs, as outlined this year.
( proper naming of objects & variables, spacing, indentation, documentation, etc.)

PROJECT STAGES

1. Proposal - This will include a description of the purpose of the program and a scenario
of where the program could be used.
Your proposal must be approved by your teacher before you proceed to the next
stage.

2. Plan / Design - This will consist of

(a) a diagram of each form in the program, showing:
(i) the objects on the form, along with the name that will be given to each object
(ii) a description of how the important objects will be used
(iii) An Algorithm for the processes that will take place on that form.
( point-form , pseudocode )

(b) a list of variables needed in the program, also giving their types,
and a description of what will be stored

No programming may occur in class until these two

planning
3. steps have been approved by your teacher. Writing the
program & documenting the program & testing the program

4. Program Submission - you must include a User’s Guide ( ReadMe file )

so that your teacher, or any stranger, will know how to use your program before
running it.
This does not have to be extensive.
There is a Project Submission Form available in the Outbox to guide you.
You will submit a folder containing all files for your Project to the INBOX (or your
workspace )

NOTE: If you a submit a program ( or part of ) for which I have not seen the planning or in-class work,
It will not be marked
