3 Institutional Student Learning Outcomes Check the institutional student learning outcomes (or category of outcomes) below that are reflected in your course: General Education SLOs (Recommended by GE Committee) At the completion of the LMC general education program, a student will: 1. read critically and communicate effectively as a writer and speaker. 2. understand connections among disciplines and apply interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. 3. think critically and creatively 4. consider the ethical implications inherent in knowledge, decision-making and action. 5. possess a worldview informed by diverse social, multicultural and global perspectives. (Each of the above student learning outcomes for the general education program has a written explanation with illustrations and examples of its application within courses, as well as specific assessment criteria. Consult the GE program information pages.) None Information and Communication Technologies Model Curriculum Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) 1. Be academically prepared to transfer to an Information Communication and Technologies program at a four-year university. 2. Demonstrate the ability to work with networking, databases technologies to solve a variety of problems. 3. Demonstrate the ability to apply programming concepts and methodologies to a range of technologies. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): Course Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Define the role of databases and database management systems in managing organizational data and information. 2. Understand the fundamentals of the basic file organization techniques. 3. Design a relational database so that it is at least in 3rd Normal Form. 4. Implement a relational database design using an industrial-strength database management system, including the principles of data type selection and indexing. Use the data definition, data manipulation, and data control language components of Structured Query Language (SQL) in the context of one widely used implementation of the language. 5. Describe the role of databases and database management systems in the context of enterprise systems. 6. Describe the key principles of data security and identify data security risk and violations in data management system design. 7. Compare the difference between on-line transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytic processing (OLAP), and the relationship between these concepts and business intelligence, data warehousing and data mining. Assessments: The primary form of assessment in this course is problem based assessment. Students will be presented with challenge problems and will be required to submit solutions in the form of data base solutions. The challenge problems and solutions are progressively more difficult as the students learn more concepts and techniques to build their data base skills. Students enhance their previous learning and add new skills to solve progressively challenging problems. Page 3 of 8 formatted

4 CSLO EXAM Multiple Choice Create Data Base CSLO 1, 2 X X CSLO 3,4 CSLO 5, 6, 7 X X Exam Short Answer CSLO 1 and 2 Exams: On exam questions students will demonstrate knowledge with either multiple representation questions or short-answer questions. Example Exam Question: A schematic of the entire data base that describes the relationships in a data base is: 1. A Data Dictionary 2. Data Definition Diagram 3. Entity Relationship Diagram 4. Entire Data Relationship Diagram CSLO 3 and 4 Data Base Build Challenges: On homework assignments, students demonstrate the ability to develop solutions to assigned problems by creating a normalized data base using a high-level DBMS and then testing and verifying their solutions on a computer. Example Data Base Challenge: Create a DB that: A Database Problem Adapted from Chuck Cusack s Notes University of Nebraska MP3 Collection Problem Statement How can a person keep track of information about a music collection? They are not concerned about whether or not the music is in the cloud, on CDs, tapes, LPs, etc. For each recording, store which band recorded the album, the title, the year, and the chronology (e.g. this is the 4 th album for that band. Each song, including title, length, track number, and writer(s) should be tracked. Of course, if two bands record the same song, they might have different track numbers and lengths. For each band (group or individual), store the names of all of the band members. For each band member, keep their first and last names, and country of origin. Consider both band members and songwriters as musicians. Construct a database to store the required information so things like list all of the information for an album, list all songs written by a musician, etc. can be obtained. Solution Here is what the student can deduce: The obvious entities are Musicians, Bands, Albums, and Songs. There is a one-to-many relationship between Albums and Bands, which will require adding BandID to Albums. For each Musician, we need to store MusicianFirstName, MusicianLastName, and MusicianCountry. Since these may not be unique, we add MusicianID as a primary key. For each Band, we need to store the BandName, and BandID for a primary key. Page 4 of 8 formatted

5 For each Album, we need to store AlbumTitle, AlbumYear, AlbumNumber (for chronology), BandID from Bands, and AlbumID for a primary key. For each Song, we need SongTitle and SongID as primary key. There is a many-to-many relationship between Musicians and Bands, and Musicians and Songs, and Albums and Songs. We need a BandMusicians table with BandID and MusicianID. We need a SongWriters table with SongID and MusicianID. We need a AlbumSongs table with SongID, AlbumID, TrackLength, and TrackNumber. The TrackLength needs to be stored here rather than in the Songs table since different recordings could have different lengths. From this, the student can construct the following tables Music Database Tables Create the Data Base Using a possible collection of music, the student populates the DB. Then, the student will write sample queries for each: 1. How many songs are on album X? 2. How many albums did artist Y record? 3. How many bands is musician Z a member of? What are they? Which albums is he on? 4. How many different bands recorded song X? 5. How many albums do I have? How many bands are represented in my collection? How many musicians are represented in my collection? 6. Are there any bands whose members are all from different countries? 7. How many albums contain at least 5 songs? Exams: On the exam questions students will demonstrate knowledge of the data base concepts and management techniques, and the syntax of SQL. Example Exam Question: What does the below statement do? SELECT supplier_city FROM suppliers WHERE supplier_name = 'Ford' ORDER BY supplier_city DESC; Page 5 of 8 formatted

6 Conversely, write a SQL statement using the table Restaurants with the fields Restaurant-Name and Restaurant-Rank that will sort Restaurants by Rank in ascending order. CSLO 5, 6, and 7 Exams: On exam questions students will demonstrate knowledge with either multiple representation questions or short-answer questions. Example Exam Question: Google uses data bases for the main purpose of: 1. Helping their users 2. For making money by selling information about their users 3. For delivering online ads 4.
