Seattle Central Community College Communications and Design Course Syllabus MIC 120 Division: Communications and Design Curriculum: Microcomputer Management Course Title: Database Applications and Design with MS Access Course Number: MIC 120 Type of Course: Occupational Preparatory Credits: 4 Length Of Course: 11 weeks Lecture Hours: 44 Class Size: 24 ADA Conformation: If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible. Course Description: This course is designed to provide students database application and design skills through the use of Microsoft Access database software. This course emphasizes the concepts to plan, create, and revise a database system by introducing and working with objects of MS Access, and provides the student the tools to effectively utilize those objects within various environments. Instructor: Course Objectives: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Course Outcomes: Students will be able to define and articulate a relational database system. Students will able to define and distinguish Access database objects and apply them to achieve a desired result. Students will be able to integrate Access objects in varied database designs and applications. Students will be able to plan and revise a database system that will allow for maximum flexibility to meet a contextual need. Students will be able to evaluate database systems for relative strengths and weaknesses and if necessary offer a design alternative with MS Access. Students will be able to work in a group in completing database projects while valuing and respecting differences amongst individual students. Upon completion of this course students will be able to demonstrate database design and application competencies with Access by: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Creating and Editing Access Tables. Creating and Editing Access Forms. Creating and Editing Access Reports. Creating and Editing Access Queries. Creating and Comprehending Relationships Within Tables. Creating and Utilizing Customized Objects. Integrating All Of The Above In Varied Contexts.
