Hi Class,
Welcome to the course COMP9315! I hope you look forward to learning about DBMS implementation. In this opening notice, I outline how the course will run in T1 2025.
About the Course COMP9315 is a course on the internals of classical relational database management systems. It assumes that you know about relational databases from the user side (e.g. COMP9311 or COMP3311), but much more importantly, it assumes that you have a sound knowledge of data structures for searching such as trees and hash tables (e.g. COMP9024 or COMP2521) and are a very confident and competent C programmer. Both assignments require you to write C code, and the exam requires you to write C code.
Course Webpages We manage the course with WebCMS3 and Moodle . If you’re reading this notice, congrats, you’ve found us. All announcements, lecture notes, assignment specs, etc, are going to be posted here. Moodle is used to provide access to online live lectures, lecture recordings, and assignment submissions.
Lecture The lectures will be delivered in person (Tue/Thu). There will be online streaming lectures via Blackboard Collaborate at the same time. You can find the link in Moodle.
Lecture Recording All lectures will be recorded and uploaded onto Echo360, which can be found through the links (Lecture Recordings) in Moodle.
Lab/Tutorial There is no lab or tutorial for the course.
Consultation Weekly consultation will be presented in-person and online via Blackboard Collaborate from Week 1. You may join the consultation if you have any questions regarding the course.
Discussion Forum We will use Ed for the course forum/discussion board. You have to register yourself first . The forum link and instructions are linked on the WebCMS3 menu .
Exam Note that, this course cannot be taken remotely. In particular you are required to attend the exam in person in the CSE labs where your work will be monitored (invigilated), in a closed environment (i.e. no internet access). If the above does not appeal to you, don't take this course.
Other than that ... nothing much you need to do until you see me on Tuesday!
Best of luck, and I look forward to meeting you all soon!
Xiaoyang Wang
