ITSE 2354 ADVANCED ORACLE PL/SQL

COURSE DESCRIPTION Prerequisites: ITSE 1345 or instructor approval. A continuation of Oracle SQL. Topics include hierarchical queries, set-based queries, correlated subqueries, scripting, and scripting generation. This course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary. This is a 3 credit hour course. (2 lec., 4 lab.) WECM END-OF-COURSE OUTCOMES: Retrieve data including SET operators, correlated subqueries, and hierarchical queries; write SQL scripts that execute remote procedure calls; create a package to group together variables, cursors, exceptions, procedures, and functions; and invoke a package constraint. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of ITSE 2354 Advanced Oracle PL/SQL, students will be able to: Explain the use of higher-level PL/SQL program block structures, procedures, functions, triggers, dependencies and packages. Manipulate database tables using hierarchical, set based and correlated queries, write scripts that execute remote procedure calls, utilize data, cursor and exception handling, and PL/SQL packages. Reinforce skills by retrieving data with SET operators, building error trapping facilities within programs, embedding SQL, loading data into Oracle tables from external files using the SQL* Loader utility, and employing dynamic SQL and object technology based on assignment criteria. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of PL/SQL needed to pass the Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL or Oracle Database SQL Expert certification exam by developing and writing documented programs using PL/SQL statements, procedures and creating packages to group together variables, cursors, exceptions, procedures, functions and invoking a package constraint. Study.

This is an online class. All course work will be posted on eCampus. It is your responsibility to get the course notes, handouts, and laboratory assignments from eCampus. Your instructor will respond to all emails within 24 hours. FINANCIAL AID STATEMENT Students who are receiving any form of financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from classes. Withdrawals may affect your eligibility to receive further aid and could cause you to be in a position of repayment for the current semester. Students who fail to attend or participate after the drop date are also subject to this policy. DROP PROCEDURE/ATTENDANCE If you are unable to complete the course or courses for which you have registered, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the course. You need to speak with and obtain the signature of the course instructor to drop the course. If the instructor is not available, a counselor, advisor, or dean may sign the drop form. Failure to drop will result in a performance grade, usually a grade of "F." If you drop a class or withdraw from the college before the official drop/withdrawal deadline, you will receive a W (Withdraw) in each class dropped. For more information about drop deadlines, refer to the current printed Credit Class Schedule, contact the Admissions office at 214-860-2484 (A169), or contact the division office. THE LAST DAY TO DROP SEE CALENDAR Students sometimes drop courses when help is available that would enable them to continue. I hope you will discuss your plans with me if you do feel the need to withdraw. STOP BEFORE YOU DROP For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than six (6) courses during your entire undergraduate career, unless the drop qualifies as an exception. Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable exceptions. Remember that once you have accumulated six non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a W. Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven of the Dallas County Community Colleges. For more information, you may access https://www1.dcccd.edu/6drop. REPEATING A COURSE Effective for Fall Semester 2005, the Dallas County Community Colleges will charge additional tuition to students registering the third or subsequent time for a course. All third and subsequent attempts of the majority of credit and Continuing Education/Workforce Training courses will result in additional tuition to be charged. Developmental Studies and some other courses will not be charged a higher tuition rate. Third attempts include courses taken at any of the Dallas County

Community Colleges since the Fall 2002 Semester. See Third Attempt to Enroll in a Course at http://www.dcccd.edu/thirdcourseattempt/ ACADEMIC ETHICS Any violation of the Student Code of Conduct (as printed in the El Centro College Catalog and available at http://www1.dcccd.edu/catalog/about/standard.cfm) will be penalized accordingly. All matters of academic dishonesty (plagiarism, collusion, fabrication, cheating, etc.) will result in a failing grade for the assignment in question. All violations will be forwarded to the proper college authorities for review. The college may, at its discretion, impose additional penalties on the student including academic probation, suspension, or expulsion. ANY form of disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. COMPUTATION OF FINAL GRADE Student progress will be evaluated by the following means:
ITSE-2354 Grade Item Attendance/Participation (15) SLO Self-Evaluation Discussion Questions (16) Assignments (16) Case Study: Chapter Quizzes (16) Course Test (2) Final Grade % of Grade 10% 5% 10% 25% 20% 10% 20% 100% Grade Evaluation A= B= C= D= F= 90100% 80-89% 70-79% 60-69% 0-59%

Note: There will be 16 end of chapter quizzes, a midterm and the final The textbook, lab exercises and the project review material are possible sources for tests. Because we are preparing students to pass an industry-recognized standard with the Oracle Certification, the ability to produce hands-on work quickly and efficiently is critical. There will be benchmarks to aid you in completing assignments in a timely manner. CONTINUING EDUCATION STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE ALL LABS, HANDS-ON, QUIZZES, CASE STUDY AND EXAMS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A CEU AWARD. Grading Scale for ITSE 2354 Lab Work All work is to be turned in to the lab assignment area in eCampus. No homework will be accepted that is not in this format. The file must be submitted to the instructor no later than the scheduled due date. Partial credit will be issued for labs. Labs may not be repeated. All lab work must be completed Last Day of Class There is no specific lab time assigned for this class. There is no support for Oracle other than your instructors lab time. Refer to your instructors lab schedule for the posted lab times. Plan to spend at least four hours per week working on lab assignments. 3

Your instructor is providing a suggested completion date for submission of all labs assignments, and test dates. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, some assignments may change. The student will be notified in lecture of any changes in assignments or due dates. In order to insure that you have the correct assignments and due dates, it is your responsibility to consult with your instructor if you are absent from lecture. Preparing for Examinations View lecture on eCampus and read the chapters. Complete the eleven (16) end of chapter quizzes. They are worth 1600 credit points and count as one exam grade. All exam questions are taken directly from chapter quizzes. INCOMPLETE GRADE STATEMENT Incomplete grades are given only in case of extreme emergency and at least 50% of the course requirements must have been completed. Request for an incomplete grade must be justified through a written statement and presented before the drop date to your instructor who will decide if your request can be approved.

El Centro College Scans Statement

What Are Scans Skills?

These are the skills that employers need the most from their workers. SCANS skills are the predictors in the workplace.
Who Defined these Skills? In 1989, the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education jointly surveyed U.S. employers to find out the most important skills and competencies needed by workers. The results of the survey identified SCANS (Secretarys Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills). ECC Students and SCANS

El Centro College is committed to the preparation of our students for success in the workplace.
All El Centro College courses provide learning outcomes which result in the mastery of SCANS skills. Although each course will not include every SCANS skill, each course syllabus will identify the specific SCANS skills and competencies taught in that course. Throughout a formal program of study (Certificate, Degree or Transfer Program) a student will have the opportunity to master all SCANS skills and competencies.
