B Objectives 1. What is the main purpose for this course? A good understanding of the basic concepts of databases Good understanding of design steps and development of database management system Understanding the terminology used in database design and thus distinguish between databases & database management system & database Application 2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (e.g. increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field) New plan used for improvement and implementation of the system of working in groups and work seminars in all paragraphs of the syllabus and then displayed and explained by the students and is one of the indicators in the performance indicators C.

Course Learning Outcomes in NQF Domains of Learning and Alignment with Assessment Methods and Teaching Strategy Course Learning Outcomes, Assessment Methods, and Teaching Strategy work together and are aligned. They are joined together as one, coherent, unity that collectively articulate a consistent agreement between student learning, assessment, and teaching. The National Qualification Framework provides five learning domains. Course learning outcomes are required. Normally a course has should not exceed eight learning outcomes which align with one or more of the five learning domains. Some courses have one or more program learning outcomes integrated into the course learning outcomes to demonstrate program learning outcome alignment. The program learning outcome matrix map identifies which program learning outcomes are incorporated into specific courses. On the table below are the five NQF Learning Domains, numbered in the left column. First, insert the suitable and measurable course learning outcomes required in the appropriate learning domains (see suggestions below the table). Second, insert supporting teaching strategies that fit and align with the assessment methods and intended learning outcomes. Third, insert appropriate assessment methods that accurately measure and evaluate the learning outcome. Each course learning outcomes, assessment method, and teaching strategy ought to reasonably fit and flow together as an integrated learning and teaching process. Fourth, if any program learning outcomes are included in the course learning outcomes, place the @ symbol next to it. Every course is not required to include learning outcomes from each domain.
