Introduction to Database Technologies 1100-3BN15

The course is aimed at providing a practical familiarity with basic techniques of processing textual data, and the ability to employ database tools in the practice of research.

The grading will be based in 50% on performance in practice sessions, tested by regular individual completion of simple tasks related to the current topics, and in 50% on completion of in-class tests which will summarize the main topical areas (expect 2 during the semester).
