A Guide to MySQL, by Philip J. Pratt, Mary Z. Last ISBN: 1-4188-3635-4 © 2006 ISBN-13: 978-1-4188-3635-1 Publish date: December 9, 2005 - Google Books has it available free online | Valore Books rental $15/$17 or Amazon $18 prices subject to change; used versions are often not that expensive. But, don't spend more than $25 on the book. Nota bene, Since the author has never updated this specific version of the book, it is a little old. However, a key reason for SQL's significant market penetration is they all adhere to a 1992 standard. In addition Canvas has a full set of state of the art videos, covering phpMyAdmin and all the new features for MySQL. For C grade, you don't need to buy the book, we have webcasts that cover most of chapter 1 of the textbook. In addition, all assignments in the book are built into the textbook viewgraphs.

Course grades is taken equally from assignments and Canvas quizzes. Course has a full set of pre-book Canvas videos, which not only touches on the entire SQL/PLSQL language, but makes the book easier to read. The text-book has 6 chapters with corresponding quizzes and assignments. Academic Integrity is critical to passing this course. Failure to abide by academic integrity can result in a failing grade. For information on academic integrity consult UCSD Professor Elkan's detailed description. and CIM site policy. All students are required to have their Saddleback E-mail forwarded to an account that they frequently use. When sending me e-mails, make sure you include MySQL or CIMW 105 in the subject line. Course Grading will be calculated from:

Final Grade is Points Based Not Percentage Based
Grade	Minimum Canvas Quiz Points*	Minimum Assignment Points**	Minimum Total Points***
A/P Credit	257 Points	189 Points	Up to and including Chapter 6 at 90%. Chapter 4-6 assignment list: p125.sql (21points), p157.sql (20), p177.sql (15), (188/209=90%)
B/P Credit	202	134	Up to and including Chapter 3, Average. Chapter 1..3 assignments: p21.sql (10), p58.sql (7) and p87.sql (10). All chapter quizzes are 20 points; Chapter 1 has two 20 point quizzes.
C/P Credit	147	108	In order to obtain C level points you need to complete with 92% average or better both pre-book assignments/quizzes, and chapter 1 assignment 1 quiz and p21.sql. The pre-book assignments cover the entire SQL language. For additional, points you can always complete another quiz or assignment.
D/NP No-credit	50	50
F/NP No-credit	10	10

**Assignments grades and due dates(except phpMyAdmin report) are displayed on submit. Last day of class is last day of class. You may not submit anything 9 hours after the last day of class. However, you may submit up to last day of class with the following penalities: 7 days late at 25% penalty, after 7 days penalty is 50%. ***Total Points, you should try to hit the minimum points for both assignments and quizzes. However, in cases where a students exceeds one but misses the other one, total points achieved will be considered. For example, if you end up with 250 quiz points and 195 assignments points, you , may likely still end up with an A. Nota Bene, including bonus (10pts), discussion boards (10 pts ) and PMA report (15points) you have 225 possible assignment points.

If you discover a clerical error, tell me immediately. The following Statute of Limitations will apply: You have one week from the day any graded assignment or test is returned to you to appeal the grade you received.
