10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I like to start VB prac once the majority
of the theory for SAC1 is complete. Even if you start it as a one session per
week earlier in the year the students can start to get a feel for it, which is
good for students starting from a very low base. Students tend to find
programming interesting which is a good break from the theory contained in
SAC1.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
