Class meetings: 50% in-class (face-to-face) and 50% online through CougarVIEW.
( http://colstate.view.usg.edu )
The Board of Regents suggests two hours of outside preparation for each credit hour
course. In an online course, students should add three hours to compensate for the seated
class time and therefore expect to study a minimum of eighteen hours each week. Since
students' ability to read for content varies, this is only an estimate of required reading and
study time.

Class Lectures
The CPSC 5138U/G class will meet regularly Monday online and Wednesday in-class
from 4:30 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. at CCT 407. The lecture topics covered in the class follow the
course schedule. Each student is expected to attend all class lectures, to read the
textbooks chapters and to make notes.
Lab Projects
The Lab Projects are "hands-on practice" part of the course that allows developing skills
and experience in developing databases from scratch and working with advanced
database topics with SQL Server 2005 DBMS. Six Lab Projects are scheduled. Each Lab
Project provides you with practice developing databases and tables, creating and running
SQL transactions, triggers, stored procedures, functions, and setting up different levels of
database security. The Lab Projects are related to major topics aimed at providing you
with database theoretical background, practical skills and experience. The details of each
of these six labs are outlined in the Lab Projects area of the class Web site.
All Lab Projects will be graded on the CSU SQL Server 2005. The Lab Projects have to
be developed and saved on your personal database not later than the due date. Late Lab
Projects are not accepted for credits. See the Lab Projects area of the class Web site for
details.
Discussions
Special Discussion Board with two discussions will be opened in the course
CougarVIEW site. Online discussions will be based on the discussion questions posted
by the instructor (threaded discussions). Your participation in the discussions will be
evaluated through your contributions (questions, answers, remarks, and essays). For
details see the Discussion area on the CougarVIEW class Web site.
Exams
Your performance in this class will be measured by two exams - Midterm and Final
Exam. Each exam carries 30 percent of your course grade. No make up tests will be given
unless a test was missed due to a documented emergency. The exams will be closed
textbook but you can use your own notes. Questions on the tests may include the
following:



Transact-SQL coding,
short essay questions,
multiple choice answer selection,
4

filling in the blanks.

Attendance Policy
Attendance Policy
Attendance at all classes and other activities (lecture periods, laboratory sessions, tests,
examinations, or other schedule meetings is required of every student at Columbus State
University. The attendance record begins with the first meeting of the class, and one who
registers late is responsible for class work missed. Student should note that the Computer
Science Faculty does not initiate "class drops". A student wishing to drop should
complete the official procedure before the deadline. Those who violate the attendance
policy after that deadline may receive an "F" at the discretion of the instructor. After the
midpoint of the quarter, no drop slip will be signed by the Dean unless extreme
circumstances can be proved.
Academic Dishonesty
Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, activities such as cheating and
plagiarism (http://aa.colstate.edu/advising/a.htm#AcademicDishonesty/Academic
Misconduct). It is a basis for disciplinary action. Any work turned in for individual credit
must be entirely the work of the student submitting the work. All work must be your
own. You may share ideas but submitting identical assignments (for example) will be
considered cheating. You may discuss the material in the course and help one another
with developing assignments and projects; however, any work you hand in for a
grade must be your own. A simple way to avoid inadvertent plagiarism is to talk about
the assignments, but don't read each other's work or write solutions together unless
otherwise directed. For your own protection, keep scratch paper and old versions of
assignments to establish ownership, until after the assignment has been graded and
6
returned to you. If you have any questions about this, please see me immediately. For
assignments, access to notes, the course textbooks, books and other publications is
allowed. All work that is not your own, MUST be properly cited. This includes any
material found on the Internet. Stealing or giving or receiving any code, diagrams,
drawings, text or designs from another person (CSU or non-CSU, including the Internet)
is not allowed. Having access to another person's work on the computer system or giving
access to your work to another person is not allowed. It is your responsibility to keep
your work confidential.
No cheating in any form will be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty may
include:




a zero grade on the assignment or test/quiz
a failing grade for the course
suspension from the Computer Science program
dismissal from the Computer Science program.
All instances of cheating will be documented in writing with a copy placed in the
Department's files. Students will be expected to discuss the academic misconduct with
the faculty members and the chair person. For more details see the Faculty
Handbook:http://aa.colstate.edu/faculty/FacHandbook0203/sec100.htm#109.14and the
Student Handbook:http://sa.colstate.edu/handbook/handbook2003.pdf
