 What is the grading breakdown for FIN 307?
● Experiments (6 exercises):30%
● Project (including presentation): 20%, one group can have 1-4
students
● Final Exam: 50%

Grading All late homework, experiments and project will be penalized 5%

per day (including weekends and holidays) and no assignment
and will be accepted if it is more than 3 days late unless compelling
Se c t io n s reasons can be presented. Sometimes no late assignment will be
accepted.

Academic honesty and integrity are expected of every student.

Dishonesty and cheating in all academic work related to this
course, when discovered, will be severely punished.

Discussions among students for assignments are permitted

and encouraged.
 • Attendance of every class is required and will be checked on a
random basis.

• Each unexcused absence will result in a one-point penalty

from the final overall score.

• An absence is counted if a student is not in the classroom

when the attendance is checked.
Attendance
• If you have six or more unexcused absences, you
automatically fail the course.

• Certain absences may be excused with prior consent from the

instructor. Please inform the instructor of any expected
absence in advance.

- For Whom and Why?
- Sample data architectures
 Definition: A database is a collection of data with the following
properties:
- It represents certain aspect of the real-world.
- Its data are logically related.
In this - It is created for a specific purpose.
Se c t io n
 Definition: A database management system (DBMS) is a set of
software that are used to define, store, manipulate and control
the data in a database.
- define – define data types, structures and constraints.
In this - store – store data to support efficient access.
Se c t io n - manipulate – perform retrieval and update operations using
a query language.
- control – control access to data.

Database System = Database + DBMS

 Details + Big picture

Focus on ‘atomic’ examples

Take in big picture, flavor of issues, how pieces fit
