REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Database Concepts, 3rd Edition by David M. Kroenke and David J. Auer, Prentice Hall, NJ 07458
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Prerequisite: CTEC 114. An introduction to the fundamental skills that a student will need to be successful in
developing personal databases. Topics include database modeling, database application design, database
implementation with a relational model and multi-user database processing.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
 Explain the database design process
 Create Entity-Relationship Data Models (Entity Relationship Diagrams)
 Discuss the Relational Model
 Use Normalization Techniques
 Use Structured Query Language (SQL)
INSTRUCTION MODES:
The course will be taught as a series of lectures, class discussions, class exercises and homework problems.
The students are expected to read the material before class to take active participation in class discussions.
Students are expected to write reports and make presentations as requested by the instructor.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:
AMOUNT OF WORK REQUIRED:
A student who attempts at least twelve (12) credit hours per semester is considered a full-time student.
Full-time students should expect to spend thirty-five (35) or more hours per week on their college work,
in addition to those hours spent in class.
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
Students are expected to attend classes and laboratory experiences, take all examinations, and participate
in other learning activities as designated by the instructor. A student may be advised by the instructor to
withdraw from a course for excessive absences.
POLICY REGARDING ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Students are expected to conform to a strict standard of academic honesty. Students are required to do all
work individually unless specified otherwise by the instructor. Collaboration resulting in plagiarism is
considered cheating, and will be subject to discipline. Cheating on examinations, plagiarism,
unauthorized collaboration with others on assignments, submitting without authorization duplicate
assignments for credit in more than one course, and improper acknowledgment of sources of material
are intolerable offenses that carry serious penalties. Penalties may consist of a failing grade on the
effected assignment, a failing grade in the course, or more severe discipline imposed by the University
scholastic standards committee.
GRADING CRITERIA:
Students’ grades will be awarded on a cumulative point criterion.
Points will be comprised from:
 Tests/Final Exam
 Home/Group Assignments
Homework is due on time. Assignments that are submitted late may be accepted at the discretion
of the instructor. However, late assignments will be penalized and can receive only 80% of the original
grade.
The grades will be distributed as follows:
Attendance
10%
Individual Exercises 20%
Group Exercises
20%
Tests
30%
Final
20%
Letter grades will be awarded as follows:
A = 90 – 100%
B = 80 – 89%
C = 70 – 79%
D = 60 – 69%
FINAL EXAMINATION:
There will be a cumulative, comprehensive examination covering all the material in the course.
