School of Computer and Information Sciences Nova Southeastern University 3100 SW 9th Avenue, 5th Floor Fort Lauderdale, FL Database Systems: A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation, and Management, 2nd Edition (1999) by Thomas Connolly, Carolyn Begg, and Anne Strachan ISBN: Course Description: The methodologies and principles of database analysis and design are presented. Topics include conceptual modeling and specifications of databases, database design process and tools, functional analysis and methodologies for database design, entity-relationship model and advanced semantic modeling methods. The auxiliary concepts and theories of database systems, logical and physical database organizations, data models for database systems (hierarchical, network, relational and object-oriented model), relational algebra and calculus, query languages, normal forms, null values and partial information, relational database design utilizing dependencies, view design and integration, concurrency control, query optimization, client-server database applications, distributed databases, object-oriented databases, and current research and development trends of database analysis, design modeling, and applications. (Adopted from SCIS Graduate Catalog for Master of Science in Computer Information Systems, ) Course Delivery Format: (Asynchronous vs. Synchronous) 1. All the course related information will be posted on my homepage. An message will be sent to the whole class whenever a new document is posted on the web site. 2. Forum for this course will be ready for everyone in the class to post the discussion messages related to the course. If necessary, the same message posted on Forum can be forwarded to my attention by We will be using Placeware (No audio and video) for question/answer sessions. The schedule of such session will be ed to you and posted on the course homepage. 1

Note: 1. Course Related Information on the Web: All the course related information and document files such as lecture notes, assignments, project description, final exam, the schedule of ECR sessions, and so on will be posted on this course homepage. Every time when a new document is posted on the course homepage, you will receive an send to your scis unix address. The format of these documents will be in Adobe PDF format, MS Word, or MS Powerpoint. In order to read and print these document, you must have the software called Adobe Acrobat Reader (3.0), which can be downloaded from the Adobe homepage ( 2. Electronic and Placeware (Electronic Class Room): Since this is an on-line course, the communication between anyone of you and the instructor is very critical to your success in this course. It is your responsibility to do following before the class starts: Please obtain a computer account usercode on scis unix if you don't have one. Please contact either the program office or network and software service office in scis for your computer account usercode application form. Please verify and validate your computer account usercode on scis unix to make sure it work even though you have one. Please check your on scis unix regularly. Please be very careful about using your local or personal addresses other than the address on scis unix to send and receive s. The instructor will not be responsible for any delay in your sending s to and receiving s from your instructor due to any unforeseen reasons in your local or personal facility. Please learn how to attend ECR by using Placeware (No audio and video), to ask a question during ECR sessions, and review the recorded ECR sessions. Although it is optional to attend each of ECR sessions, it is still your responsibility to obtain the course related information mentioned during the ECR session. Each ECR session will be recorded and available for you to review. 3. About Your Course Work: 3

4 No late assignments and please check the due dates of all your assignments. In general, you will be given two weeks to finish an assignment. In cases of late submitted assignments, there will be 10% off of your grade point after the due date of an assignment (midnight), 20% off one day late after the due date, 30% off two days late after the due date, 50% off three days late after the due date, and 100% off (you receive 0 point) afterwards. Everyone is encouraged to discuss the contents of this course with as many people as possible, in order to gain a thorough understanding of the various topics covered. However, any work you hand in to me is implicitly represented as your own, it had better be just that: your work. Any acknowledged team effort will result in each member of the team receiving an equal share of the total grade. In general, no incomplete grade will be granted in this course except in the case of extreme hardship. The instructor reserves the right to grant any incomplete contract. In such cases, a student requiring an incomplete must a.) submit a written appeal with full rationale to me at least two weeks prior to the end of the term with appropriate supporting documents, and b.) complete at least 50% or more of the course work. 4. Submission of Your Course Work: Make sure your name, student id, usercode on scis unix, and phone number are available on each assignment file you submit. Submissions of assignment files can be in one of the following formats: a.) plain text file (ASCII) preferable, b.) Microsoft Word files (binary file), please make sure I could open your file, otherwise the assignment will not be graded and you will receive no point for the unreadable assignment. All the assignments must be submitted by ES/ET on scis web page to submit your assignments. Please keep copies of all your submitted assignments with the receipt numbers from ES/ET. After your assignment is graded, you could retrieve your grade by yourself from the ES/ET. Please do not send me your assignments by since the storage space for my account is very limited. Each student must demonstrate proficiency in the use of the English language in all work submitted for this course. Grammatical errors, spelling errors, and writing that does not express ideas clearly will affect your grade. Your professor will not provide remedial help concerning writing problems that you might have. Students who are unable to write correctly and clearly are urged to contact their program office for sources of remedial help. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fourth Edition) should be used as a guide for form, style, and general writing principles in the preparations of papers and reports (from Dean Edward Lieblein). 5. About On-Line Learning/Teaching Environment: You are assumed to know how to use scis on-line learning/teaching facility such as sending and receiving s, attending ECR by using Placeware, reviewing recorded ECR sessions, submitting your assignments by ES/ET, accessing and visiting the course webpage, downloading and uploading files, and so on since you were oriented during the scis orientation program before your starting. If you have further questions about the on-line facility, please look at the help menu available on scis web homepage. 4
