Wk 1 – Introduction to Blackboard Ultra Quiz [due Mon]
Complete the “Introduction to Blackboard Ultra” tutorial.
Blackboard Ultra is a software-as-a-service product; therefore, updates and developments are made to Ultra on a continuous basis to best serve your learning needs. Notification of these updates and developments will appear in the Ultra environment within a banner, as well as appear on the Release Notes pages of Chalk it up! site.
The Introduction to Blackboard Ultra tutorial is correspondingly updated to reflect these software changes; however, this may not be simultaneous with the occurrences, so you may see slight variances in the tutorial as compared to the actual classroom environment.
Wk 1 – Create an Algorithm Using Pseudocode [due Mon]
You work in the IT group of a department store and the latest analytics shows there is a bug that allows customers to go over their credit limit. The company’s president has asked you to develop a new algorithm to solve this problem.
Create your algorithm using pseudocode that determines if a department store customer has exceeded their credit limit. Be sure you gather the following inputs from the user:
- Account number
- Balance of the account
- Total cost of all the products the customer is looking to purchase
- Allowed credit limit
After you gather the inputs, make sure your algorithm calculates if the user can purchase the products and provides a message to the user indicating if the purchase is approved or declined.
Document your answers in a Microsoft® Word document.
Review “Understanding Object-Oriented Programming” with Jungwoo Ryoo from Lynda.com® for additional guidance.
