3. Optimize a relational database design by dependency analysis and normalization.<br />
4. Explain disk usage, basic and indexed file structures, and hashing for data storage.<br />
5. Articulate algorithms for query processing and optimization<br />
6. Design, implement and test database applications of realistic complexity.
7. Participate effectively in team development of a marketable web-based database.<br />
Academic Dishonesty<br />
Please do your own work. The default consequence for academic dishonesty is a failure<br />
for the course. It is okay to discuss with other students general ideas about implementing<br />
a program. It is not okay to copy another student's program. It is okay to discuss possible<br />
program bugs. It is not okay to debug another student's program.<br />
Expectations<br />
Students are expected to attend lectures, participate in the discussions, and work with<br />
their group members on group projects. You should come to class prepared and speak up<br />
when something is not clear. Being prepared means completing the assigned reading and<br />
assignments. Students are expected to be creative and have fun!<br />
Students with Disabilities<br />
Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any<br />
emergency medical information the instructor should be aware of, or who need special<br />
arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor<br />
as early as possible, and no later than the first week of the term. Class materials will be<br />
made available in an accessible format upon request.
