  • Test #1 will cover the Design component of this course (approximately week 5 or 6)
  • Test #2 will cover some aspects of design and some aspects of SQL scripting (approx. week 11)
  • Every effort will be made to stagger the test schedule so that you are not overloaded with tests and assignments all at one time.
