  • Introduce Yourself
    Our first activity during class will be introducing ourselves. I plan to go through the class in alphabetical order and ask each of you to speak to us using your headset. I am expecting each person to speak for 1 - 2 minutes. Here are the things that I would like you to share with us: Your name; The iSchool program in which you are enrolled; Your employment (this includes, full-time, part-time, university, and home care activities); Your previous experience with databases (especially relational databases); Most Important: What you would like to get out of this course. I look forward to meeting each of you during your introductions.
