Abstract

We will cover database theory, characteristics of contemporary DBMS landscape, Relational Algebra, Entity Relationship modeling of different domains, SQL and its dialects, different approaches to data modelling. Course DB project will include group modelling of a complex domain area, design, and implementation of DB for this area, including relationships, triggers, stored procedures, complex queries. Applications of databases to Business Intelligence are also discussed through the course, including the integration of predictive analytics with DBMS and user BI systems. Course BI project will include defining BI goals, setting KPI and designing dashboards for a particular case from different domain areas. Visualization of business metrics and dashboards design will become a special topic of the course, which will allow students to get familiar with the process of data communication. Data-driven dashboards, being one of the most essential parts of Business Intelligence, will be discussed a lot.

Assessment Elements

Assessment Elements

  • non-blocking BI Project
  • non-blocking In-class test on SQL queries
    If the student was not able to attend the in-class test without a valid excuse, the in-class test can be retaken in the next two days with its score reduced by 1 point. If the student was not able to attend the in-class test with a valid excuse, the in-class test can be retaken without any penalties. Confirmation of the valid excuse is required. Retake time is negotiated individually.
  • non-blocking In-class test on ER diagrams and Relational Schemas
    If the student were not able to attend the in-class test with a valid excuse, the in-class test can be retaken. Confirmation of the valid excuse is required. Retake time is negotiated individually. Retake without a valid excuse is not possible.
  • non-blocking DB Project
    Students will work in groups to complete a series of tasks writing SQL queries and answering given questions.
  • non-blocking Seminar participation
    Seminar participation can be replaced with extra homework.
