Review: Nothing
Dr. Lam's lectures were rated highly by his students. He gave many useful examples during class.
The textbook was rated from okay to very good. An average of about 10 hours was spent on homework each week. The exams were consistent with the lectures and were graded fairly.
When asked the best thing about the class, some of the students replies were: "Needs no prior background" "practical" "project work teaches you the real world application" "Homeworks were easy and useful"
"Be prepared to take lots of notes." "It's a useful course from a job point of view." "A stepping stone for advanced database engineering." "Makes life easy."
