The main focus includes relational database analysis, design, and implementation. The students learn: relational algebra as the formal foundation of relational databases; relational conceptual design using an entity-relationship diagram; relational logical database design; security and integrity; and SQL implementation of relational database queries. Students will also learn advanced normalization theory and the techniques to remove data anomalies and redundancies. In this subject, students are required to design a database application that meets the needs of a system requirement specification, and to implement the system using a commercial standard database system such as ORACLE or POSTGRESQL. In addition, a selection of advanced topics in databases will be introduced and discussed. Page 3 of 10 SUBJECT INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (SILOs) Upon successful completion of this subject, you should be able to: 1 Design a relational database using an ER or EER diagram and use a transformation process to change the ER or EER diagram to a relational database design. 2 Evaluate database design in terms of data anomalies and redundancies by applying the appropriate normalization techniques. 3 Implement database systems using SQL and advanced PL/SQL including stored procedures and triggers. 4 Explain the underlying model of relational database operations using relational algebra. 5 Evaluate the possible risks and ethical and social considerations relevant to designed systems.

Refer to the Assessment (Late Submission of Tasks) Policy at https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/document/view.php?id=148&version=1 for further information. ** Students should keep a copy of all assignments submitted for assessment. HURDLE REQUIREMENTS There are a variety of assessment hurdles or conditions for passing a subject other than the overall mark. Hurdle Requirements may be built into the assessment of the learning outcomes of your subject. • The Hurdle Requirement for this subject is: students must obtain an overall pass grade and pass the final examination. Pass grade in this subject is 50%. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION If you are not able to complete an assessment task on the scheduled date due to exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you may be eligible for Special Consideration. If the assessment task is worth 15% or more of the total assessment for this subject and you have experienced serious short term, adverse and unforeseen circumstances that substantially affect your ability to complete an assessment task to the best of your potential, you may be eligible to apply for Special Consideration. To do this or find more information, go to http://www.latrobe.edu.au/special- consideration For Special Consideration for assessment tasks worth less than 15% of your total mark, contact your Subject Coordinator. For Information about the Special Consideration policy, go to Special Consideration Policy at https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/document/view.php?id=205 REQUEST AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO SUBMIT AN ASSIGNMENT TASK Penalties apply if you submit an assessment after the due date. If the assessment task is worth 15% or more of the total assessment for this subject and you are not able to submit it by the due date, you will need to request an extension of time to submit. To do this or find more information go to http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/admin/forms/request-an-extension For extensions of time for assessment tasks worth less than 15% of your total mark, contact your subject coordinator. Poor time management is not an acceptable reason for an extension.

Academic integrity education is integral to the learning experience at La Trobe University. The University requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work, and it demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating”. (La Trobe University Academic Integrity – Procedures and Responsibilities, 2015). The penalty for submitting an assignment as your own but is the work of a third-party, may be as severe as “exclusion from the University without readmission”. Refer to the Academic Integrity - Schedule of Responses and Penalties for Academic Misconduct at https://www.latrobe.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/847923/Academic-Integrity-Schedule-of- Responses.pdf You should familiarise yourself with the Academic Integrity website at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/academic-integrity, and complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) in your LMS. If you have any questions regarding Academic Integrity, your Subject or Course Coordinator will be able to assist. STUDENT FEEDBACK ON SUBJECT SURVEYS Student feedback contributes to enhancing the student experience and to improving the quality of learning and teaching at the University. The University piloted two new survey instruments in 2019 which will be rolled out for all 2020 subjects. The new student feedback instruments include: 1. Early Feedback on Learning – You will receive this survey early in your course. The purpose of this survey is for you to highlight what works well or does not while there is still time to make changes in the semester. Teaching staff will review your feedback and introduce changes where appropriate to further improve this subject and enhance your learning. 2. Subject Quality Survey - This survey allows you to provide feedback prior to the end of the teaching period about this subject and the teaching of this subject. It combines the previously separate Student Feedback on Subjects (SFS) and Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) surveys. The Subject Quality Survey (SQS) is one of the quality assurance processes that occur across the University. While the survey is anonymous, we do expect that you use respectful language and provide constructive feedback. Your views are taken seriously and assist us to improve the learning experience for future students. Feedback from previous students who completed this subject, as well as the action taken by the subject coordinator in response to the feedback is available in the LMS site for this subject. The new survey instruments are shorter than previous surveys and have been designed in conjunction with both staff and students. CHARTER OF STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES As a La Trobe coursework student, you have a number of rights and responsibilities. La Trobe statutes and regulations, as well as policies and procedures govern your rights and responsibilities. LaTrobe University aspires to provide an outstanding student experience conducive to scholarly activity and supportive of your learning goals. The Charter of Student Rights and Responsibilities is a brief summary of your rights and responsibilities as a student at La Trobe. The Charter was developed in consultation with La Trobe students. A copy of Page 7 of 10 the Student Rights and Responsibilities can be found at https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/document/view.php?id=225. STUDENT COMPLAINTS The Student Complaints Management System (SCM) is a formal mechanism for students to lodge concerns about any aspect of their University experience. A student complaint may be about any aspect of University life, such as an administrative matter, a problem with a subject or course, or the conduct of a student or staff member. For more information about the Student Complaint process and how to lodge a complaint, visit the Complaints and Feedback page at: https://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/support/complaints.
