Computer Science Special Seminar Series

Abstract: The Database system course is an integral part of the computer science curriculum.  The course is a combination of theoretical and practical topics which require a well-defined balance for teaching the material. A pure practical or theoretical methodology for teaching the course may not engage the students while delivering the necessary topics.
In this talk, I will present a comprehensive methodology based on semi-flipped classrooms for the effective teaching of Database Systems.
