Overview

Learn how to create basic and slightly advanced macros. Learn how to create buttons and forms for use in any Microsoft Office application including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access (but not Publisher). Learn how to write a majority of the programming code for the forms and buttons you create for these applications. Tested over code writing and terms.

What actually happens

VBA is a macro language designed by the Microsoft Corporation to allow you to simplify tasks in the Microsoft Office suite. Instead, they've created one of the most prevalent forms of virus hosting by allowing said macros to be embedded into the documents themselves. However you do not learn that. Instead you drag and drop elements into dialogue boxes, and thusly does the class fail to teach you anything of worth. We suggest taking Programming II if you want to learn something that could potentially be useful.
