Abstract

An undergraduate course in database design is described. The need for such a course, and its appropriateness in the undergraduate information systems curriculum is discussed. Finally, a number of general instructional difficulties are identified. It is claimed that a course like it is needed in the undergraduate information systems curriculum and that remedies to problems teaching it may have to be found outside the traditional business and computing curricula.
