A follow-up assignment was a PHP/MySQL Web database application to display educational statistics for a user-specified country. Submitted works and post assignment surveys were studied and analyzed. The result indicated that both assignments were well received and generally beneficial. This approach also appeared to encourage more creativity and better diversity in students' database designs.Īlthough our students appeared not to be well trained in data preparation in their undergraduate studies, they were able to learn quickly enough to produce acceptable products.
Our experience suggested that while it was not difficult to identify interesting realworld datasets of appropriate complexity, the instructors will need to put in extra effort on project evaluation.
We believe that this kind of assignment can be adapted in many ways to satisfy different educational objectives and it fits well in a wellrounded IS curriculum.
