22C:244 Database System Implementation
Fall 2002 - University of Iowa
Overview
22C:244 was the first offering of database system implementation. It was a newly created course that
is based on material originally covered in 22C:296 in Fall 2001. The course was very large for a
graduate course (25 students). The course involved homework assignments, a midterm exam, a final exam,
and a major project. Most students did very well, and many created interesting projects. The class
itself was in 114 MacLean Hall at 2:30-3:45 Tuesday/Thursday.
