\item{\bf Description}

Study of fundamental concepts behind the design, implementation and application of database systems. Brief review of entity-relationship and in-depth coverage of the relational model including relational algebra and calculi, relational database theory, concepts in schema design and commercial database languages.

\item{\bf Prerequisite}

CS 315 and graduate or engineering standing

Needed Skills:  Ability to design, code and debug nontrivial programs
in C(C++), Java or Python.  Some knowledge of web programming and computer hardware organization.

\item{\bf Learing Outcomes}

At the conclusion of the course, the successful student will be able
to:

1. understand and appreciate the theoretical foundation of database systems\\
2. write SQL queries of moderate complexity\\
3. use sound design principles when defining a database\\
4. understand through hands-on experience the file management techniques used by database systems.

\item{\bf Grading}

The grade will be determined by homework
assignments, quizzes, a project, a midterm exam and a final exam.
The tentative weights are as follows:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lr}
6 Homework assignments& 25\%  \\
Project & 20\%  \\
Midterm exam  & 25\%  \\
Final exam  & 25\%  \\
Quizzes & 5\% \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

Final grades will be assigned according to the following scale:

A=90-100\%, B=80-89\%, C=70-79\%, D=60-69\%, E=0-59\%.

For graduate students, grade D will automatically be replaced by E.
Also, any grade normalization will be done against peer students,
i.e. undergraduates will only be normalized with undergraduates,
and graduates with graduates.

No incomplete grades will be assigned unless there exist exceptional,
extenuating circumstances.

Late programs or homework will be penalized 10\% per day for each day late.
No programs or homework will be accepted if they are late for more than 3 days.

\item{\bf Academic Conduct Expectations}

Students are expected to complete all assignments independently. Honest and ethical behaviors are always expected.
There will be no tolerance for plagiarism or other academic
misconduct. The minimum punishment is an E grade that cannot be removed by the repeat option.
