This year the course will be given as an intensive course

This year (2010-2011) the course 2518-E Databases will be given in five weeks with one double (i.e. four-hour) lecture in each day.

The days of the lectures will be on the Fridays of September (and one Friday in October):
- September 3
- September 10
- September 17
- September 24
- October 1

The exact timetable (including when and where the lectures will be held in each day) will be posted on the course page (i.e. here) soon.

The responsible lecturer of the course is Dr. Peter Majlender. For specific questions concerning the course, you can write me at peter[DOT]majlender[AT]hanken[DOT]fi.

Since the contact hours in this course (4 * 5 = 20) is much less than it should be for an 8-credit course, I expect an active participation (including presence in the lectures) from everyone who wants to get a grade in this course.
