Class Lectures
The CPSC 5138U/G class will meet regularly Tuesday and Thursday from 12:00 p.m. 1:15 p.m. at CCT 407. The lecture topics covered in the class follow the course schedule.
Each student is expected to attend all class lectures, to read the textbooks chapters, the
online materials and make notes.
Projects
The projects are "hands-on practice" part of the course that allows developing skills and
experience in developing databases from scratch and working with advanced database
topics with SQL Server 2008 DBMS. Each project provides you with practice developing
databases and tables, creating and running SQL transactions, triggers, stored procedures,
functions, and setting up different levels of database security. The projects are related to
major database topics aimed at providing you with database theoretical background,
practical skills and experience. The details of each of these projects are outlined in the
Projects area of the class Web site.
All projects will be graded on the CSU SQL Server 2008. The projects have to be
developed and saved on your personal database not later than the due date. Late projects
are not accepted for credits. See the Projects area of the class Web site for details.
In addition of these project the students have to develop a G Project (graduate project)
about SQL Server 2008 components.
Assignments
Five assignments for the graduate students are scheduled. The first four assignments are
in the area of data warehousing and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). With the first
three assignments the students have to write reports. The forth assignment is about how
to develop a data cube on SQL Server 2008. The last assignment is about SQL Server
2008 Business Intelligence Studio. Late assignments are not accepted for credits. See
the Assignments area of the class Web site for details.
Quizzes
At least seven quizzes are scheduled. The quiz questions cover topics from textbook
chapters. Questions on the quizzes may include the following: multiple choice answer
selection and short essay questions.
Exams
Your performance in this class will be measured by two exams - Midterm and Final
Exam. Each exam carries 25 percent of your course grade. No make up exam will be
given unless the exam was missed due to a documented emergency. The exams will be
closed textbook but you can use your own notes. Questions on the exams may include
the following:

"I didn't know" is no an acceptable excuse for failing to meet the course requirements.
Students who fail to meet their responsibilities do so at their own risk.
Attendance Policy
Attendance Policy
Attendance at all classes and other activities (lecture periods, laboratory sessions, tests,
examinations, or other schedule meetings is required of every student at Columbus State
University. The attendance record begins with the first meeting of the class, and one who
registers late is responsible for class work missed. Student should note that the Computer
Science Faculty does not initiate "class drops". A student wishing to drop should
complete the official procedure before the deadline. Those who violate the attendance
policy after that deadline may receive an "F" at the discretion of the instructor. After the
midpoint of the quarter, no drop slip will be signed by the Dean unless extreme
circumstances can be proved.
Academic Dishonesty
Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, activities
such as cheating and plagiarism
(http://aa.colstate.edu/advising/a.htm#AcademicDishonesty/Academic Misconduct). It is
a basis for disciplinary action. Any work turned in for individual credit must be entirely
the work of the student submitting the work. All work must be your own. You may
share ideas but submitting identical assignments (for example) will be considered
cheating. You may discuss the material in the course and help one another with
debugging;however, any work you hand in for a grade must be your own. A simple
way to avoid inadvertent plagiarism is to talk about the assignments, but don't read each
other's work or write solutions together unless otherwise directed. For your own
protection, keep scratch paper and old versions of assignments to establish ownership,
until after the assignment has been graded and returned to you. If you have any
questions about this, please see me immediately. For assignments, access to notes, the
course textbooks, books and other publications is allowed. All work that is not your own,
MUST be properly cited. This includes any material found on the Internet. Stealing or
giving or receiving any code, diagrams, drawings, text or designs from another person
(CSU or non-CSU, including the Internet) is not allowed. Having access to another
person's work on the computer system or giving access to your work to another person is
not allowed. It is your responsibility to keep your work confidential.
No cheating in any form will be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty may
include:




a zero grade on the assignment or exam/quiz
a failing grade for the course
suspension from the Computer Science program
dismissal from the Computer Science program.
7
All instances of cheating will be documented in writing with a copy placed in the
Department's files. Students will be expected to discuss the academic misconduct with
the faculty members and the chairperson. For more details see
the Faculty Handbook: http://faculty.colstate.edu/handbooks and
the Student Handbook: http://studentlife.colstate.edu/handbook.asp.
