1. Dindabases ['dihn da bay sihs]

Usage

This is the colloquial term used among student to refer to the EECS 339 Database Course taught by Professor Peter Dinda.

Description

The course is infamously a harder course in the EECS department at NU. Currently it has been either taught by Professor Dinda (more often), Professor Duggan (less often), or Professor Trajcevski (rarely). The reason it is hard is because of the enormous projects that the students have to complete from scratch. However, it is a required course for a reason, because you come out of it a better programmer and you know much more about databases (perhaps more than you'll ever need to know in the real world). You can see the exact course description here .
