Schedule of Projects

 

This document is made part of the class syllabus, and supersedes any previous project schedule(s). The following projects are the culmination of the course, and you, at this point, have acquired the necessary skills to analyze, organize, and develop the following projects. Remedial experiences and subjects are assumed.

 

Please complete the following databases as if you were the Business Consultant. You have the basic knowledge, as general information, obtained from the all lectures, all notes, text, databases (1-6), all overhead presentations, all board work presentations, and any hints. . .You are to take the given information (data) for each database project, and add, delete, and correct, if necessary, any data, fields, records, or structure.

 

It is necessary that these projects are done independently, and developed and solved with your own analysis.
