1. Class introductions - Due: 8:00 a.m. August 26, 2024. (10 points)

Add a post or entry (i.e., "Create Thread") in the NSU Blackboard discussion forum "Class Introductions" for this class introducing yourself. In this post, feel free to list where you are from, your major, why you are taking this course, what career opportunities you would like to purse upon graduation, hobbies, interests, etc. Feel free to add a picture or video of yourself! Most students find it is easier to communicate with classmates when they know a little more about each other. While optional, feel free to respond to class introductions by other students.

2. Entries - Due 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 14, 2024. (20 points)

Add at least two original entries or posts (i.e., "Create Thread") to the NSU Blackboard discussion forum "Database Concepts: Tools, Tip, and Helpful Resources" for this class. Your posts can include tips, tricks, helpful resources, new technologies, and other useful features to help you edit, create, and develop databases. The deadline will provide ample time for follow-up responds from other students. See Step #3 below.

3. Replies - Due 8:00 a.m. on Monday, November 25, 2024. (20 points)

Respond or reply to at least two postings from other students on the NSU Blackboard discussion forum "Database Concepts: Tools, Tips, and Helpful Resources" for this class. Your reply should build on the original post to help construct a conversation. Add something unique to the post. Feel free to provide a video clip, or a link to an outside resource that highlights the message you are conveying. Do something extra that requires others to think and respond to the ideas you are sharing. Establishing a standpoint and supporting it with evidence are great ways to demonstrate that you are not only making connections with the content but also attaining a deeper understanding of the material.
