CMU-CS 15-415/615 - Assignments

Important

All assignments are due at the beginning of the lecture (3:00pm sharp), on the due date.

All assignments are to be done individually.

Overview

There are three categories of assignments: pencil+paper, DB-app, and DB-internals. Pencil+paper means that a computer need not be involved. DB-app means you will design some queries/software that interfaces with a database management system (treating it as a "black box"). DB-internals means you will write code that implements some internal module of a database management system.

The weights add up to 100% of the total assignment weight, which is 30% of the total course weight. That is, a person that obtains perfect grades in all assignments, will have 30 points for his/her final course grade.
