IT 125 5.0 Units - Introduction To SQL Using MySQL
Provides instruction in the techniques for querying, modifying, creating and deleting databases and database components using MySQL and MySQL Workbench. While this course focuses on MySQL, the techniques can also be used in other databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.

This course requires hands-on work by the student. While it is helpful if a student has seen or used a database tool in the past, this course is taught with no expectation of prior database knowledge.

QUIZ INFO:
The normal process for taking quizzes is like this:
  • the student shows up to class
  • the instructor gives the quiz
  • the student has one chance to take the quiz
  • there is a 15-20 minute time limit
  • there is no use of the textbook / student notes
My way for taking quizzes is like this:
  • give a 2 week time frame to get them done
  • you may retake each quiz up to 3 times for a better grade if the grade you receive the first or second time is not your best
  • you have a 2-hour time limit each time you take the quiz
  • you may use your textbook / notes
I can either use the normal process of taking a quiz, or use my way. If using my way, you will need to remember to take the quizzes within the 2 week time frame.
Quizzes CANNOT be re-activated so please DON'T EVEN ASK !!
