Projects: |
Projects will be assigned at various times. You will have sufficient time to complete the projects. Although there may be in-class group exercises you must work individually on the projects, typically outside of regular class hours except when a project is designated as a group project. You may work together in small groups on group projects, provided the names of all who worked together are listed. Each student must still submit their own copy of the assignment. Projects are graded on the following scale:
A = 95% (Excellent: Good design with good comments, style, and extras) Minor extras worth +5 points, minor omissions or poor design worth -5.
| ||||||||
Homework: |
Homework assignments are assigned from the end of chapter exercises in the text. The due dates are shown in the weekly schedule below. You will have plenty of time to complete the assignments. You may work together in small groups for the homework assignments, provided the names of all who worked together are listed. Each student must still submit their own copy. Homework questions are intended to focus your studying of the readings and to stimulate class questions and discussion. It is not intended that students can answer all the questions assigned, but you must show you have thought about the questions in order to earn an "A+" grade. | ||||||||
Submitting Assignments: | Assignments (except when noted) can be submitted by email to . Please use a subject such as "Oracle DBA I Homework Assignment #1" so I can tell which emails are submitted work. Send only one assignment per email message. Email your assignments by copy-and-paste into your mail program. Please do not send as attachments (except when saubmitting documents with graphics, such as for some case study questions). If possible, use the "text" and not the "HTML" mode of your email program. Late assignments generally will not be accepted. An assignment is late if not turned in by the start of class on the day it is due. Late assignments will be accepted up to one week late only if you obtain the instructor's permission prior to the due date of the assignment, or for a documented serious medical reason. All late assignments will lose at least one letter grade penalty regardless of the reason for the delay. Projects and quizzes later than one week will receive a grade of F (0), however if you have a very good reason your instructor may allow additional time. In the event a student submits more than once for the same assignment, I will ignore all but the last one received up to the deadline. Assignments submitted after the deadline will not count toward your grade without the prior express approval of your instructor.
If you have an email problem you may turn in a printout instead.
Be sure your name is clearly written on the top of any pages turned in.
Please staple multiple pages together (at the upper left). |
