CSE 4305
Database Management Systems
A study of data models and the database management systems that support these data models. The design theory for databases is developed and various tools are utilized to apply the theory. General query languages are studied and techniques for query optimization are investigated. Integrity and security requirements are studied in the context of concurrent operations on a database, where the database may be distributed over one or more locations. The unique requirements for engineering design databases, image databases, and long transaction systems are analyzed. Prerequisite: CSE 247.

She is not necessarily a mean professor but this is one of the worst courses I have taken in my time at Washu. You are graded on very few assignments/exams, the slides are really bad, and the grading is odd. Our first exam had a high grade of 85/95 which i think is absurd for the difficulty of the content. The optional textbook is your friend.

She has a significant lack of depth in understanding the subject matter. The lectures are extremely poor, and she is oblivious to this fact at all; she seems to blame the low average grades on students not focusing on her useless lectures. The grading also lacks transparency and is tough. Just don't take her class whatsoever.

She is a terrible terrible terrible lecturer. The content and exams should not be difficult at all, but everyone does horribly due to the fact that she cannot teach. She gets visibly frustrated when students do not participate, but it is because nobody understands what she is saying. Don't bother asking questions, she will give you non-answers.

Don't take her course! She seems disrespect her students. After receiving a very bad mean and median scores in the mid term exam, She seems thought it was only because all students do not work hard and did no curving at all. She knows nothing about her terrible lecture slide and quality of her lecture.

Don't take her class; I have never seen any professor who disrespects her students like she does, and she knows nothing about what she is teaching.
