DBMS accounts

Your Oracle and MySQL accounts are set up. The platform where these are available also has PHP set up and ready to go.
In addition, if you would like a source code control facility to make code development and sharing easier for your group, you can request a Subversion repository on that same platform. You can find the details about how to make use of these facilities at https://agora.cs.uiuc.edu/display/CSIL/csil-projects.cs.uiuc.edu.
We have also posted an example of how to access Oracle from a Java program using JDBC, which you can find at http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/class/fa08/cs411/tutorial.html. (JDBC will be covered in our lecture.) On Oracle and MySQL accounts, your login name is your NetID and your initial password is sent by Compass email. Please check your mailbox on Compass. Once you get the password, we encourage you to play around with either or both of these DBMSes, starting with their interactive shell and moving on to PHP and JDBC.

Graduate Project

 

Submission by regular on-campus students

Assignments are to be submitted either in class or at the course administrator�s office, SC2120, by 3:15 PM on the specified due date. Please note that the office closes at 12 noon for an hour.

Returned Assignments

Graded homeworks will be returned after class as soon as they are available. Unclaimed assignments can be picked up in SC 2120 by on-campus students, after initial distribution.

Regrading Policy (also available on the Policies page)

Students have three days after grades are posted to submit a written request for regrading. The written request must show that a student have read solutions and compared his/her answers to the solutions. A request should specify exactly why more points are to be awarded. This request should be sent to a TA responsible for the homework. The responsible TA (instead of the original graders) will be in charge of regrading, and therefore the decision will be final. Depending on the regrading, the final grade may be higher, lower, or unchanged. The TA has the option of reevaluating the entire homework. The decision timeframe is ONE week.
