ON TEACHING OLAP BASICS IN ENGLISH

Abstract

This work is based on the author's experience of acquaintance undergraduate students (including foreigners) of Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation with the basics of OLAP technologies within the discipline "Professional computer programs".

Keywords: OLAP, International finance faculty, teaching in English 

At International Finance Faculty (IFF) of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, all instructions are given in English, that has a number of advantages [1-21]. IFF students are not only the citizens of the former Soviet republics, but also from "far" foreign countries, such as Germany, France, India, Vietnam, the United States. Some of them do not speak Russian at all. Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation plans to increase the number of IFF students from foreign countries.

Fourth year bachelor students study the compulsory subject "Professional computer programs" (PCP). In the current academic year, about 60 students are enrolled in the course (three academic groups). The topic OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is an important part of the PCP working program. The main points, reflected in our studies, are as follows.

  • What is OLAP?
  • In what way OLAP tools structure the data?
  • What OLAP tools enable users to do?
  • Which types of analytical operations exist?
  • What is the core of any OLAP system?
  • What is meant by MOLAP? ROLAP? HOLAP?
  • What are the advantages & challenges of 3 types of OLAP?
  • What is a typical application of OLAP?
  • What are main features of the analytical platform "Contour BI"?

 In the winter session, students write answers to such questions in English. The faculty is still young, and I teach PCP the third year only. However, I do my best to improve the education process, and in particular, explain students important IT issues like OLAP.
