Abstract
In Spring 2003, Joe Hellerstein at Berkeley and Natassa
Ailamaki at CMU collaborated in designing and running
parallel editions of an undergraduate database course that
exposed students to developing code in the core of a full-
function database system. As part of this exercise, our
course teams developed new programming projects based
on the PostgreSQL open-source DBMS. This report de-
scribes our experience with this effort.
