Mythical Creatures I

Clarification: SQL Check Assignments, Weeks 1,2,5 Grades and Feedback vs later SQL assignments

Your grades for the following SQL assignments from Weeks 1,2,5 are determined by your highest score of TWO attempts on the SQL Check quiz. 

· Week 1 Mythical Creatures I

· Week 2 Mythical Creatures II

· Week 5 Help Desk

You were asked to also submit your work from these assignments so they would serve as a backup.  Submitted assignments (the uploaded Word document) may be 'spot checked' for completeness, but you will not receive a separate grade for these submissions.  This approach to grading allows us to offer additional SQL practice for students in early weeks, when other assignments still need to be manually graded by the instructor (Week 1 Database Guided Study and Week 3 Database Development).  The SQL Checks also allow you the chance to take the quiz once, rework your SQL as needed, and then retake the quiz; your highest grade of the two attempts is posted to the Grades area.

The reason you are given two tries at the quiz is so you can review your SQL code for certain questions and see where you might have made a mistake. Thus, you should not take the 2nd attempt five minutes after the first. Note, for example, that in the Week 2 SQL Check, it is highly likely that the second attempt at the quiz will NOT have the same questions as the first attempt.

Later SQL assignments that you submit ONLY to the Assignments Folder (uploaded Word file only, no SQL Check quiz) will be manually graded by the instructor and you will receive specific feedback on the SQL code.  You can only submit these SQL assignments ONCE.

· Week 6 BI SQL Assignment

· Week 7 SQL University

· Week 8 ETL Candy

If any of the above is unclear, let your instructor know.  If you have specific questions on ANY SQL assignment, from ANY week, do not hesitate to contact your instructor.
