My Professional Activities during 2003

  1. Taught two Collegebound classes on January 18, 2003. These two classes were introduced to the idea of database management first. Then each class learned how to view a table, add, modify, and delete data from a table; use a form for data entry; run a query; and finally, create and print a report. Access 2002 was used to perform these activities.
  2. Taught two additional CollegeBound classes on March 22, 2003. These two classes were devoted to creating database tables using Microsoft Access 2002. Table design included the concepts of data types, primary keys, validation rules, validation text, and indexing. Students used the Form Wizard to create data entry forms. Data was entered into their tables using these forms.
