Assignment:
Recall that for the SLP assignment for this course, we are
conducting assessments of database programs and
demonstrations available online.
For this module, your task is to try the tutorial SQLCourse -
Interactive Online SQL Training for Beginners. This is described
as:
This unique introductory SQL tutorial not only provides easy-
to-understand SQL instructions, but it allows you to practice
what you learn using the on-line SQL interpreter. You will
receive immediate results after submitting your SQL
commands. You will be able to create your own unique
tables as well as perform selects, inserts, updates, deletes,
and drops on your tables. This SQL tutorial currently
supports a subset of ANSI SQL. The basics of each SQL
command will be covered in this introductory tutorial. Unless
otherwise stated, the interpreter will support everything
covered in this course.
The more of the tutorial you can work through, the better;
however, your grade is primarily dependent on how you
approach the task and how much learning energy you put
into it rather than specific output from the tutorial.
Once you have completed your exploration of the tutorial,
you are to prepare a review of the tutorial, like the kind of
review that you would find in a good computer/information
systems journal or website, covering the following topics:
what the tutorial taught you and what you learned specifically from the
tutorial (>75% of your write-up)
how effective was the tutorial, who might find the tutorial useful, and any
other aspect of the tutorial that you think a reader might find useful
Your paper should be three to four pages in length, and
reflect your personal experiences with this issue. The
important part of all these project assignments is to
carefully assess your own experiences with the topic,
and then reflect critically on what you might have
learned about yourself and about situations through this
assessment process.
The more that you can use the exercise to develop personal
implications for your growth as a potential business person
as well as a moral individual, the more value you'll get out of
the exercise.
