Lecture Notes
The notes (of powerpoint files) posted here are a superset of the
slides that are used in the lectures. Some of the slides posted here
are not covered in the lecture -- they may either be slides giving more
detail, or covering more topics which were left out in the lecture for
brevity. When appropriate I have mapped the topics to the chapters in
the recommended reference book. I will also be placing several links to
other sites --
you should make an effort to visit some of these sites.
Please let me know of errors and typos in the slides/notes.
Some of the lecture notes posted here were taken
from Prof. Ramakrishnan's notes and from the ElMasri and Navathe textbook.
Lecture
notes or links to external resources will be posted no later than 24 hours before the lecture. You are
required to read the notes and come to class for discussions and
in-class exercises.
Project description, including team assignments, will also be posted here.

Project and Teamwork
Teams
This course requires development of a medium sized team project.
The team composition will change
during the course of the semester; specifically, teams are defined for
Phase 1 of the project. They will then be reconstituted for Phase 2 of
the project
No collaboration is allowed between teams. You cannot collaborate
with your team member to solve a homework or programming assignment
that requires you to work on your own. Failure to follow these rules is
a violation of the academic integrity code.
Project :
The project has two phases. In phase 1 several products are
implemented, and in phase2 these will be integrated into a more
comprehensive product. Phase 2 requires considerable integration of
software modules and team software development.
