  4. H/Ws and Projects • Homeworks (4) • Individual effort (to assure you practice and know the material well) • Projects (2) • Team effort of two (to collaborate and have feedback cycles on design) • Work inside a mini DBMS and add extensions

  5. Tentative Deadlines and Late Submission Policy • Check the website regularly • Late Submission Policy • One-day late 15% off the max grade • Beyond that, no late submission is accepted

  6. Course Management • Two systems will be maintained • Web Page: http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs4432/d14 • Electronic WPI system: blackboard.wpi.edu • Homework/Project submissions • Electronically on blackboard.wpi.edu • Viewing Grades • On blackboard.wpi.edu

  9. Doing well • Exams • Master the topics (attend lectures, homeworks, projects) • Master the topics on time • Projects • Start early • Need to spend time first to understand the system before you add your code • Need to know Java

  10. Project

  11. SimpleDBmini DBMS • You will use a small DBMS design for student’s learning (SimpleDB) • It has basic functionalities, subset of SQL, few error checking • It is written in Java • Your task is to extend its functionality as will be given in the projects

  12. So……Take Action • Form teams of two in the first week and be ready • Each team should be comfortable working with Java • Understand, Understand, Understand…. • You must understand how things work before you add your code • What you will add at the end is relatively very small • You can go ahead, download it, play with it…

  13. Needed Background • Beginning database knowledge as gained in CS3431 (or, job experience) • Some knowledge of software development (such as CS3733).
