  abstract =     "This paper describes the use of cooperative group
                 learning concepts in support of an undergraduate
                 database management course that emphasizes the
                 theoretical and practical aspects of database
                 application development. The course project is divided
                 into three main phases, involving requirements analysis
                 and conceptual design, relational database mapping and
                 prototyping, and database system implementation using
                 Microsoft Access. The project deliverables are designed
                 so that students not only develop a database
                 implementation, but also evaluate their design in terms
                 of functional dependencies, normal forms, the lossless
                 join property, and the dependency preservation
                 property, thus establishing the need for sound database
                 design principles. Students are required to actively
                 participate in each phase, with students assuming
                 different roles in each phase to allow them to
                 experience different leadership responsibilities. As
                 part of the grading process, students evaluate their
                 own performance as well as the performance of others in
                 the group. This paper describes our experience with the
                 structure and administration of cooperative groups and
                 provides a discussion of the lessons we have learned,
                 including initial observations of the effectiveness of
                 the approach.",
