this module, your task is to try the tutorial

SQLCourse – Interactive Online SQL Training for Beginners

. This is described as:

This unique introductory SQL tutorial not only provides easy-to-understand SQL instructions, but it allows you to practice what you learn using the on-line SQL interpreter. You will receive immediate results after submitting your SQL commands. You will be able to create your own unique tables as well as perform selects, inserts, updates, deletes, and drops on your tables. This SQL tutorial currently supports a subset of ANSI SQL. The basics of each SQL command will be covered in this introductory tutorial. Unless otherwise stated, the interpreter will support everything covered in this course.

The more of the tutorial you can work through, the better; however, your grade is primarily dependent on how you approach the task and how much learning energy you put into it rather than specific output from the tutorial.

Once you have completed your exploration of the tutorial, you are to prepare a review of the tutorial, like the kind of review that you would find in a good computer/information systems journal or website, covering the following topics:

· what the tutorial taught you and what you learned specifically from the tutorial (>75% of your write-up)

· how effective was the tutorial, who might find the tutorial useful, and any other aspect of the tutorial that you think a reader might find useful

Your paper should be three to four pages in length, and reflect your personal experiences with this issue. The important part of all these project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what you might have learned about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.

The more that you can use the exercise to develop personal implications for your growth as a potential business person as well as a moral individual, the more value you’ll get out of the exercise.
