COURSE SYLLABUS FOR PROGRAMMING AND DATABASE MANAGEMENT

I. Course Code:

PDM

II. Course Description:

This course provides a hands-on experience behind the concepts of programming and database management. It starts
with a review on the fundamental programming constructs of a database software, variables, types, expressions, and
assignment; simple I/O; conditional and iterative control structures, methods and functions. The students will gain a
thorough understanding of Database functions and applications using MS Access. The students are required to complete
several short programming assignments and are expected to apply the concepts in database management to create
practical working software solutions.

III. Pre-requisite:
IV. General Objective:
At the end of the semester, the student shall have:
1. Utilized a database software programming Language.
2. Identified the underlying concepts in the practice of database management
3. Developed software projects with database functions.
V. Core Value(s):

Critical thinking, Professionalism

VI. Grading System:

Preliminary Grade

= ((CS * 2) + Prelim Exam) / 3

Midterm Grade

= ((((CS * 2) + Midterm Exam) / 3) + PG) / 2

Final Grade

= (((CS + (Final Exam * 2)) / 3) + MG) / 2

Note: Class standing is composed of quizzes, laboratory work, internet research, and other related course work.
