Public Class Form1

    Private ableToProgram As Boolean = False

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                              ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                              Handles Button1.Click
        Dim grade As String
        Dim decision As String

        While Not ableToProgram
            decision = InputBox("Do you want to cheat? (Y/N)", _
                                "Learn to Program", "Y")
            If decision.ToUpper = "Y" Then
                grade = PostAssignmentOnForums()
            Else
                grade = DoWorkYourself()
            End If
            MsgBox(String.Format("You got an {0}", grade))
        End While

        MsgBox("Good Choice!")
    End Sub

    Function PostAssignmentOnForums() As String
        ableToProgram = False
        Return "F"
    End Function

    Function DoWorkYourself() As String
        ableToProgram = True
        Return "A"
    End Function
