In this unit, we plan to use a peer-assisted learning approach. To maximise the learning experience for students in this approach, students are expected to read the suggested sections from the textbook prior to attending the workshop sessions . The preparation prior to the workshop is CRUCIAL to the successful participation of students in peer-assisted learning during the workshop sessions.

Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of online and face to face learning activities and independent study. Independent study includes associated reading and self-directed online study in preparation for scheduled activities. The unit requires on average three/four hours of scheduled activities per week.

You are required to have access to a copy of the textbook Coronel, C., & Morris, Steven, Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management (Version 12 or 13 is suitable).

The Library has 12th and 13th Editions available as hard copies for borrowing. There is also access to an online version of the 12th Edition via Monash Library

You are recommended to purchase the digital version of the textbook as an eBook from http://bit.ly/2NYK937.

A discount voucher for this purchase will be available from the Unit Moodle Website in week 0.

This unit will make use of the Oracle 12 database running on a Monash server. All students will have an account on this server which will suffice for all database work this semester. To access this server you will need to install and run the Monash VPN software (details available from the Moodle site).

The client software for accessing Oracle (SQL Developer) will be available via a download from the Unit Moodle site - you must ONLY use the prescribed version available from Moodle, you must not download and use SQL Developer from any other site.

Monash FIT GitLab Server

All students will be required to maintain their unit work on the FIT GitLab server https://git.infotech.monash.edu/ to both provide a secure repository for work completed and to demonstrate a clear development history. Students will be provided with an account on this server.

Moodle

All students must regularly check Moodle for announcements. In addition, for assignment 1A and assignment 1B, Moodle forums will act as a 'client' to students allowing them to clarify any design/task issues - the responses posted to these forums by the moderator will be regarded as part of the assignment brief. Failure to note these postings and implement/integrate them as part of your solution will incur grade penalties.
