SUNY LEARNING OUTCOME OBJECTIVES
(for General Education 2 courses. See below.)

COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES
(measurable student learning outcomes)
Upon completing the course, you are expected to understand E-R model and the fundamental concepts of relational
database, understand basic components of a relational database, more importantly be proficient in SQL language, and be
able to develop database applications. In particular, you will gain hands-on experience in SQL programming in Oracle
environment. You will gain experience in designing a tiny database application which comprises at least a set of data
retrieval, record update and record insertion functional modules as well rudimentary PL features. Ideally, being also
exposed to front-end application development, you will be familiar with typical two-tier database application development
scheme.
This course will provide students an introduction to relational database concepts and database programming using
Oracle. The course starts from an in-depth discussion on E-R model. Then we will study the fundamentals and basic
components of a relational database management system (RDBMS). A solid and comprehensive understanding of database
management system will be the foundation for you to understand real world database applications and to develop such kind
of high-level applications. Then the concentration will turn into SQL languages and fundamental procedural language
features of Oracle system. A significant portion of the class will be dedicated to SQL and programming scheme in SQL. SQL
language provides a declarative interface between users and database management system. SQL language itself is very
compact and simple, but wisely programming in SQL could work out efficient solutions to very sophisticated query tasks.
Finally, we will briefly go over how programming tools such as Java, .net or VB/ASP can communicate with Oracle.
A portion of the class meeting times will be spent in the lab learning to use the software required for completing the projects.
Although some lab time will be provided for completing lab and homework assignments, it will be your responsibility of the
students to visit the lab during open hours to complete the projects.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Programming intensive and debugging can still be time consuming at this stage.
Learning by doing, learning by examples, hands-on, trial and error,
Everybody can make it through and succeed! Work hard, put in enough time.
COURSE ACTIVITIES/TEACHING STRATEGIES
1.
Traditional Methods: lectures, discussion, presentation and projects.
2.
Important means peculiar to computer science major: practicing on computers to finish lecture examples,
homework or other interesting projects.
3.
Clear your doubts after class by solving your problems in lectures, homework and exams.

The a course content is tentative and is subject to change. You will be notified in advance if any change is
necessary. Throughout the semester, students need to do a significant amount programming to improve their
programming proficiency and skills. Programming projects are designed to help students to engage in the
subject and gain firm understanding to the covered topics.
TEST DATES & COVERAGE
See above
LATE ASSIGNMENTS & MAKE-UP TEST POLICY
Late assignments will be accepted, but assessed at a 10% point penalty for each day after the due date, unless you can
provide legitimate and/or school-approved excuses to justify the delay.
Make-up for missed midterms and final will only be arranged for those who have acceptable reasons supported by proper
and officially documented evidences. The instructor must be notified in advance for missing the midterm(s) or final exam.
If you could not anticipate your absence in advance but you can , you should apply for make-up at your earliest possible
time when you are back again

Final letter grade system
The final letter grade will be determined by converting the grade using the following cut-off points with
rounding up.
92 to 100 = A
72 to 75 = C
89 to 91 = A69 to 71 = C86 to 88 = B+
67 to 68 = D+
82 to 85 = B
64 to 66 = D
79 to 81 = B61 to 63 = D76 to 78 = C+

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is mandatory and will contribute partially to your final grade. Being attentive to the lectures is instrumental to
your success in this course, because you will receive a large amount of useful information you cannot afford to miss.
This is the second core course for CS majors, covering a long list of important topics within only 15 weeks. In addition to
regular lectures, we will use class meeting time to discuss homework and similar questions for exams, so it is your best
interest to attend every class whenever possible.
Pedagogical research and past experience shows that students who attend classes regularly generally do much better in
their classes than their peers who attend sporadically. Attendance sheet may be distributed for signatures for every class
to keep track of your attendance history. The instructor reserves the right to drop anyone who misses more than 25% or
more of the class meetings to that point at any time through midterm. Each student will be allowed absences provided
she/he has reasonable proofs. For every two unexcused absences, your will lose 1 out of 100 points. If you will miss any
class, you will be responsible for material covered in class as well as the material in the text. Make sure you contact your
instructor to find out what has been covered and what new assignments have been given out. Not being in class is never
an excuse for not knowing what has been covered. All college policies regarding attendance will be followed stringently.
Honorable demeanor is assumed.
You are expected to participate in all class activities. To be a good participant, you should display positive and
constructive attitudes, do all assigned work, prepare to ask questions, attend to other class members’ concerns, get
involved in the ongoing class activities, and volunteer to answer questions raised by the instructor or your peers.
The computers are provided for you to study technologies related to this course and facilitate your learning of the course,
not for other irrelevant behaviors. If a student is found to abuse the lab computers in the class meeting time by conducting
the irrelevant activities such as online shopping, chatting, gaming, emailing, or messaging etc., he/she will lose his/her
attendance credits. A repeating offender is subject to being dropped from the class by the instructor.
