COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces relational database design, implementation, and management. Special
emphasis is placed on the applying the knowledge of structured query language (SQL), data
normalization, and entity-relationship (E-R) modeling to solve real business problems. Primary
database implementation will be done using SQL Server 2005 (MS Access or MySQL). An
introduction to Web-based database may also be provided.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. **Gaining factual knowledge (trends, terminology, and methods).
2. *Learning fundamental principles, concepts, and guidelines of relational database.
3. *Learning to apply course material (to improve understanding and solve business
problem)
4. **Developing specific skills and competencies needed by CIS professionals related to
database design and management.

LEARNING COMPONENTS
There are THREE major learning components in this course,
a) Technology
b) Business Knowledge
c) People Skills
Technology
 Database Design Skills- especially entity relationship modeling and data normalization

Software Application Skills—Using E-R modeling tools and DBMS
o For modeling and creating database Schema, DeZign will be used.
o For database implementation and administration, MS SQL server and Visual Studio
will be used.
Business Knowledge
 Think as a solver of business problems

ROLE OF CIS 3650 IN CIS MAJOR
Students successfully completing the CIS major will be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of professional and ethical expectations in the work place.
2. Use productivity software (word processing, spreadsheet, and database) effectively and
manage hardware and software resources by applying knowledge of operating systems and
environments.
3. Develop application software using skills in appropriate business programming languages
(e.g. COBOL, Visual Basic, Java).
4. Develop and maintain databases using theoretical and applied knowledge of relational
database management systems (e.g. Oracle, SQL Server, DB2).
5. Develop and maintain telecommunications networks using theoretical and applied knowledge
of telecommunications (e.g. Novell, Windows/NT).
6. Analyze business problems and develop solutions by applying critical thinking skills within
the systems development process (e.g. The Systems Development Life Cycle [SDLC] and
Information Engineering.
7. Be a team player by applying group process skills: participate fully in group discussion and
activities, lead/follow when appropriate, provide support and collaboration when needed.
8. Access information resources and communicate effectively using a variety of methods: oral,
written, and electronic.
9. Design and construct client/server applications by using appropriate tools and architectures
and develop effective graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
GRADING
Final course grades will be determined based on your final weighted score using the following
fixed percentage cutoffs. Please be noted that the final course grade will not be rounded up.
For example, in order to receive an A, your final course score must be 90.00 or above.

The detailed requirements of each assignment will be posted on blackboard a week ahead. All
assignments should be submitted in both electronic copy in blackboard and hard copy before
class. The detailed requirements for the Group project will be given separately.
POLICIES:
 Class Participation and Attendance: You are expected to read the assigned reading
material, work diligently toward the completion of assignments, attend classes regularly
and participate in all discussions, presentations, and activities constructively. In addition,
you are expected to show respect, collegiality, and good citizenship toward others in the
class. It is your responsibility to inform the instructor ahead if you are unable to show up
or will be late for the class. Each absence without acceptable excuse is worth 10 points. If
you have more than 5 absences, you will have an incomplete as the final grade. Every
two times of tardiness will be considered as one absence.
 Missed Tests: No make-up examinations will be given except for university-approved
emergencies. If you anticipate problems regarding scheduled test or class activity, please
see me in advance to make alternative arrangements.
 Late submission Meeting deadlines for class assignments is very important. Late
assignments will be penalized. There will be a penalty of 20% of the assignment's
maximal grade (i.e. 20 pts on a 100-point base) per calendar day for late submission, and
no late submission will be graded after the solution of the assignment is discussed in the
class. Excuses such as the system was down, the printer was running out of paper or ink
cartridges, or there was a virus on your diskette, you were not being able to get onto a
computer or printer in the labs, or having your computer's hard drive crash at the last
minute are not acceptable.
 Bonus Assignments: Instructor may provide students with a number of bonus
assignments throughout the session. Students should determine by themselves whether to
submit a bonus assignment or not. The maximal total credit that a student can earn from
his or her bonus assignments is 1% of course grade. This extra credit will be added to the
student’ session score. According to the instructor’s experience, the extra credit is
normally a critical help to students whose session scores are marginal.
 Team Work: Project and some of homework are to be done in teams. The teams may
consist of no more than three members. All team members are expected to contribute
equally and fairly to the team activities. If you encounter difficulties in the smooth
functioning of the team, bring it to instructor’s attention early. Peer evaluation will be
conducted to detect any significantly unbalanced contribution amongst team members.
 Announcements: Announcements will be made in class about changes in schedules,
computer lab meetings, assignments, exams, readings, policies and other class activities.
It is entirely your responsibility to attend classes and keep abreast of the announcements
and changes. Important announcements may also be posted on the course web site.
 Academic Misconduct: All assignments and tests should be the product of individual
effort. Feel free to discuss problems, but make sure that what you turn in is the product
of your own. No form of reference material may be used during an examination.
Students are expected to understand and follow the Harmon College of Business
Administration Code of Conduct (http://www.ucmo.edu/hcba/code). Any form of copying,
either on computer assignments or tests, will be considered academic misconduct and
will be dealt with according to the Honesty and/or Computer Network procedures on
page 129-151 of the student handbook.
 Disabilities: Any student who has a disability that may prevent him or her from fully
demonstrating his or her abilities should contact me personally as soon as possible to
discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate the student's
educational opportunity. Students with documented disabilities who are seeking
academic accommodations should contact the Office of Accessibility Services, Union
220, (V) (TTY) 660-543-4421.
 Special Note: Please turn off your cell phone when you are in the classroom.
