MasteryGrids system is an interactive learning tool that helps you improve and track your understanding of course concepts. The system visualizes your progress through different course topics using a color-coded grid, where darker shades indicate higher mastery levels. As you work through the exercises and questions, you’ll not only strengthen your knowledge, but you can also earn extra credit. Specifically, you will receive a checkmark for a topic when you complete at least two Independent problems in it, and you can earn up to two extra points toward your final grade if you get checkmarks for all the topics presented in MasteryGrids. However, beyond the extra points, active engagement with MasteryGrids is an excellent way to reinforce learning. You can access the system anytime to practice and improve at your own pace.

Here is the assignment instruction based on MySQL Workbench: Use MySQL Workbench and the provided Schema template to complete the assignment and submit your work on Canvas.
Remember, you must submit all the required files mentioned in the instructions. Points will be deducted for submissions in the wrong format.
Please set up MySQL Workbench
We’ll be using MySQL Workbench to create a database schema in our first ICA next Tuesday (1/20).
You can get instructions for how to install MySQL Workbench in this Quick Guide to MySQL Workbench. Use the guide to set up your software. (You only need to follow till Part 2 on page 4! ID/PW is not required at this point.)
I suggest you install the software before next Tuesday!
- If the newest version doesn’t work on your laptop, please install a previous version (e.g., 8.0.44) following the link.
If you are having an issue installing MySQL workbench, you can create database schema using MySQL Workbench on a virtual machine using the Owlab: https://owlab.temple.edu
Course Recording Policy
Not all classes will be recorded by default. However, if you have to miss a class due to unavoidable circumstances, please let me know at least one hour before class, and I will do my best to record the session so you can review it afterward.
As I mentioned earlier, many of our topics will build closely on material we have already covered. Because of this, missing even a single session can make it harder to follow later discussions. If you anticipate being absent, please let me know in advance so we can avoid any unnecessary difficulties.
Welcome to MIS2502 Data and Analytics!
Dear students,
This is your instructor speaking. Hope you had a great winter recess and welcome back!
Please note that we will use this website to post up-to-date materials such as syllabus, schedule, class announcements, slide decks, in-class activities, and assignment instructions. While I will try to make announcements both in class and on the community site, it is a good idea for you to check the website regularly.
The Canvas site will be primarily for assignment submission and sharing videos/recordings. The grades will also be posted on Canvas.
Please also take a few minutes to complete this survey: MIS 2502 Survey: Get to know your background, by Jan 12th. This survey is for me to know a bit about your background.
Our first class will be on Jan 13th at 12:30 p.m. at Alter 234.
Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
Regards,
Jaehwuen Jung
