| Abstract | This thesis comprises of the syllabus for a newly designed relational database course at University of Southern California. This course was offered as an elective during Summer 2009 semester in the Department of Preventive Medicine. This document includes the class description as well as the topics covered in the class. Homework assignments and project have been included in the appendix.; 15 students had registered for this class and the evaluations highlighted the practical applicability of the class within the student community. The course was designed keeping in mind the need for students to have a clear understanding of relational database concepts that could be extrapolated in clinical trials settings and work related matters. The labs for this class were designed to provide the students hands-on experience with applying the theoretical concepts learnt in the class using MS-Access as a tool. MS-Access provided students ability to learn how to create tables, create queries that would help with data mining, create forms that would be useful for data capture and create/run reports that would provide ability to view and summarize data. Exams for this class were open book with emphasis on SQL queries.; There are plans to offer the course again in Spring 2010 as a 3-unit class.; Relational Database Principles (3rd edition) by Colin Ritchie is the recommended text book for the class. Other useful reference materials for the class have been listed in references. |
