ROGRAMA
SSESSMENT Rational:Evaluated SQL Programming track
Discussed the success of the program. In our last review we recommended including MySQL database technologies in the two course track. We have updated the course learning activities and students were very happy with the experience with that platform
Noted fewer students move onto level 2
Considered industry requirements and popularity of MS SQL Server Recommendations:
1. Gather information on why students enroll in level 1 to help us better understand why our expectations of 100% of students moving onto level 2 is not realized
2. Investigate and plan for fall 2010 incorporation of Oracle 11g

SSESSMENT Rational: Evaluated SQL program.• Discussed concerns about low enrollments of the database programs.
• The programs are needed - advisory committees, Bureau of Labor statistics and community
member
• Look for ways to advertise merits of the programs
• Additional platforms could serve as an enticement
Recommendations:
1. Incorporate MS SQL Server and/or other database platforms into the course work.
2. Develop program/department-level SLO's for documenting SQL and other programming
language courses.
3. Curriculum changes that were suggested in department review have begun to be

Curriculum Changes
We discussed the merits of further distinguishing the single-table / multi-table usages between the two classes. It might also be worthwhile to address SQL tuning strategies in the level 2 course. These items might require a change to the outline of record for the courses and will be discussed as an information item at our next department meeting.
All programming assignments for the level one course, CSIS 114A SQL Programming - Level 1, were evaluated and judged to be very good measures of concept mastery for the level one course.
The level two programming assignments were also good measures of programming mastery. The level two course, CSIS 124A SQL Programming - Level 2, includes a technical communication component and in our discussions we noted a variance in the work products that were submitted, and how those items were evaluated.
We need to define more consistent objectives and prepare a more useful rubric.
SQL is an industry standard programming language however each database vendor offers their own significant enhancements to the language. All participants in this review felt it would be advantageous to extend the computing resources and to modify the programming assignments such that students would gain experience with other (i.e. non-Oracle) database products.
As a result of this discussion the department will re-task one of our Oracle database servers to the MySQL database platform and we will begin incorporating this DBMS into the SQL programming curriculum.
